On today's show we chat with Ellie Holcomb!

Award-winning author and artist Ellie Holcomb has released her new children's book, Spring Sings (B&H Publishing). This beautiful picture book climbed to the No. 1 new release on the "Children's Easter Books" chart on Amazon after release. Check out Spring Sings now. Holcomb uses her beloved lyrical writing style to encourage young readers to watch as the world slowly wakes from winter - to know that the new life of spring also retells the story of God's Son.  Illustrated by Laura Ramos (Sounding Joy), Spring Sings is Holcomb's fourth book in a series. Her children's books include Who Sang the First Song?, Don't Forget to Remember, Sounding Joy, and now Spring Sings."We all know what it feels like to walk through winter seasons, but winter never gets the final word," shares Ellie Holcomb. "Spring always sings a song of hope, reminding us that God loves to make ALL THINGS NEW! This book is an invitation to open our eyes and ears - to hear the beauty all around us, to remember that no matter how dark things may seem, love always has the final word."As she has with her other books, Holcomb will simultaneously release a companion children's album produced by Nathan Dugger. Sing: Spring Songs will be released on March 21st featuring seven songs including five original songs. The project will include the title track, "Spring Sings," which will be available on February 21st on all digital platforms. For eight years, Ellie recorded and toured full-time with her husband’s band, Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors, before stepping off the road when her first child was born. Her solo debut, As Sure As The Sun (2014), landed her a Top 10 hit and a GMA Dove Award for “New Artist of the Year.” Her critically acclaimed sophomore LP, Red Sea Road, followed in 2017. In 2021, she released her third full-length solo project, Canyon, to much acclaim, earning her a second Top 10 radio single with the song, "I Will Carry You." Holcomb has also released four children’s books - each with a companion EP of original music written specifically for kids. Her kids' books, Who Sang The First Song? and Don't Forget to Remember have each achieved the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA) Bronze Award for selling more than 100,000 copies. Her debut book was also on the ECPA juvenile bestseller list and was a finalist for the 2019 Christian Book Award in the children's category. She has also authored two additional children's books, Don't Forget To Remember and her Christmas book, Sounding Joy, which landed at No. 4 on ECPA's Christian Juvenile Bestsellers, Christmas 2022 list. Her first adult book and devotional, Fighting Words: 100 Days of Speaking Truth into the Darkness (2021), has spent many months on the ECPA Bestseller list and is also a Bronze Award book.
