CHAPTER 1

Who sang the first song? Who hummed the first tune?

Was it the wind blowing past the silvery moon?

Were the stars making noise as they sparked at night?

Did the sun sing a song as it colored the sky?

Did the waves makes a song as they crashed to the shore?

Or was it the whales?

Or the lions' first ROAR?

Did the first flowers hum as they burst into bloom?

Or was the first song when the thunder went BOOM?

Maybe elephants running load over the ground ...

Or maybe the birds made the first singing sound.

All these guesses we've made are quite good, but they're wrong.

It was God, our Maker, who sang the first song!

When God made the earth, He decided to sing, And He wrote His song into everything.

I’m a huge Ellie Holcomb fan and this past week I found out she made this book... so I had to get it for my 7 month old daughter who loves reading time and board books and is becoming more and more engaged with her books as the days go by. We listen to and sing Ellie’s sweet baby/kid songs to our daughter all the time so it was exciting to see one of her songs put into book form. This book is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and the illustrations are so full of color and joy!! Every single page is so pretty and I love the diversity too. Love the way the book reads/flows. Uses lots of great literary devices like nature imagery and onomatopoeia making it really fun to read aloud/get silly and also great for the imagination! It’s fun discovering “who sang the first song?” and seeing God’s hand in it all and his great love for us. Love what this book teaches. Sweet for babies and adults alike :)
