Children’s Picture Book
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this arc, in exchange for my honest review.
What a sweet story full of gorgeous illustrations. This book would be perfect to read to littles as the seasons change. They will be captivated by the colorful illustrations. Ellie Holcomb invites the reader to sing a song for spring and reminds us throughout the story of the gifts that God gives us through his creation. It teaches that his love is in everything he creates and he shows off especially in the Spring when the flowers are in bloom and the birds begin to sing. Beautiful picture book- Would recommend!

A rhyming board book that looks at the new life spring brings out of the seemingly deadness of winter, and how this can remind us of Easter and how God conquered death.
The illustrations in this are cute. The text is succinct but draws the allegorical points well, and the rhyme is well done. Recommended to Christian families, schools, or Sunday schools for an Easter season read.

Longtime fan of Ellie Holcombe’s music - for the kids and adults! Sweet hymns of worship and catchy tunes bred life into Ellie writing several children’s books, and this is Ellie’s latest one. It does not disappoint! My 3 yr old loves the song and this book. She’s already memorized about half of it. Love the words and the beautiful illustrations!

Book Review: Spring Sings by Ellie Holcomb, Illustrated by Laura Ramos
Rating: 4 Stars

The book invites readers, especially the little ones, to join in the joyous symphony of spring—a season that brings a sense of renewal and delight. Drawing on the themes of Easter and the beauty of God's creations, Holcomb crafts a narrative that encourages us to find joy in the simple gifts of life, reminding us that each bird's song and every blooming flower is a testament to divine love and rejuvenation.
One of the first things that caught my eye was the book's delightful cover. It perfectly sets the tone for what's inside, with its charming depiction of springtime. The illustrations by Laura Ramos are nothing short of breathtaking. The pastel palette she employs captures the essence of spring—vibrant yet gentle, filled with life and wonder. Each page is a visual treat that complements Holcomb's lyrical storytelling, making the book not just a reading experience but a feast for the eyes as well.
For families who celebrate Easter, this book is likely to become a cherished favorite. It's not just a story; it's an invitation to fall in love with the holiday all over again. The narrative is sweet and uplifting, perfectly suited for children who are just beginning to understand the significance of Easter and the beauty of spring.
Moreover, Ellie Holcomb has also released children's music as a companion to this board book, which adds another layer to the experience. It's a wonderful way to engage children even further, allowing them to immerse themselves in the themes of the book through song.
In summary, Spring Sings is a beautiful celebration of spring and Easter. It's a book that both children and adults can appreciate for its heartwarming message and stunning artwork.

There are three main things that I like about this book:
1. The plot/organization. Everything was timed perfectly, and each plot point fit very nicely with the others. Every organizational choice made a lot of sense, and this allowed the story to flow really well, without feeling rushed.
2. The illustrations. The pastel colors beautifully captured the wonder and life that comes with spring and the Easter season. Kids that celebrate Easter will definitely enjoy this story and likely fall in love with the holiday even more. Additionally, the "bustling" feel/vibe of the illustrations allows the overall book to have a lot of energy, which makes perfect sense for the topic.
3. The meaning. The author uses something superficial and simple (spring) to connect to a deeper meaning of things not lasting. Winter is something that can be dark and dreary, and the author teaches young readers that it will pass soon enough when spring arrives. Kids will be able to apply this idea to so many other things in life, which is great!

Spring Sings by Ellie Holcomb is a delightful children's picture book with a story about the beauty and splendor of the Spring season as it arrives, and all the flowers and animals begin to blossom and grow to herald in the new and much warmer season. The author describes the wonder of God's mesmerizing creation and the story about the greatest sacrifice Jesus ever mad for all humankind. However, just as Jesus rose again and celebrated with His disciples, God gives us all the gift of life and allows us to celebrate the reawakening and rebirth of the animals and plants He created for all of us to admire and appreciate.
Spring Sings shares a story of wonder over the beauty of creation around us as we approach the Spring season, and the colorful and whimsical illustrations depict a world of eternal happiness and love. Children will surely adore reading this book with parents and grandparents as they learn all about how the earth comes alive with this wonderful new season.

If you’re looking for a sweet and meaningful story to share with your little ones this season, Spring Sings by Ellie Holcomb is a delightful choice.
This beautifully written board book captures the wonder of the season through gentle, poetic language and colorful illustrations. Each page invites children to pause and delight in the beauty around them—from blooming flowers to fluttering butterflies—reminding us that God makes all things new.

A simple and beautiful explanation of how Christ and the resurrection are reflected in nature.
With the rhyming pace and captivating illustrations we’ve come to expect from Ellie Holcomb’s books, even the youngest readers will be immediately drawn in.
Ellie shares simple truths that draw our attention to the reminder of who our creator is that are seen in nature. Her books and songs build a chorus in our minds that will be brought back to mind as we are in nature. Sealing those seeds of truth deep in all of our hearts.
This book will make a perfect Easter gift and will be one to revisit each year as spring blooms

The was a pleasant children's read!
I have listened to some of the writer's music, but had never read one of her books.
She did an excellent job depicting the joy in the newness of the season of spring, while also telling of God's love for us and Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection so we could have new life in Him.
-Negative Content : (very minimal)-
▪ The only thing was, some of the little girls' outfits were just a little bit short.
Other than the one thing, the book was wonderful!
Many thanks to the publisher for the complimentary e-book copy of this book that I received to review through Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review, and the thoughts above are my own.

I thought that this book was excellent and I have recommended it to the Catholic Primary School that my daughter attends - this would be a brilliant addition to their library and one for the class to read together - it is engaging and encourages them to sing and get involved.
The book is well written, it is easy to follow and it has some lovely illustrations too.
It is a great concept that is really well executed - a treat to read!
It is 5 stars from me for this one - very highly recommended!

I smiled the whole time I was reading this book! A must-read in anticipation of spring and Easter.
This board book delivers everything it promises and so much more. I imagine Ellie Holcomb singing her way through this celebration of spring and our risen Savior. The rhyming text flows like sweet lyrics to a song as the reader brings life to each page. The illustrations are bright and busy, giving much to talk about with a 2-5 year old. Another win for B&H Publishing!

Thanks to Net Galley and B&H Publishing for the ARC! Great illustrations! The book has a great flow with rhyming stanzas. It gives an overview of what happens in the season of spring. It also has an element of God. I go into books blind so I did not know there was the God element. However, I think it was implemented tastefully.

Spring Sings is a short rhyming picture book about spring and the Easter season. It takes a religious angle, so be cognizant of that. The illustrations are colorful and it's short enough to hold the attention of younger readers.
