Who Sang the First Song? by Ellie Holcomb

This gentle picture book explores the beautiful question of where music began, taking young readers on a lyrical journey through creation's wonders. Through poetic text and soft illustrations, children discover that flowers, ocean waves, and celestial bodies all contribute to the world's symphony, but the first melody came from a divine source. The story introduces the concept that God, as the ultimate creator, sang the world into being and gave every living thing its unique voice. This Christian perspective on creation offers a warm introduction to theology through the universal language of music and song.

What makes this book particularly engaging is how it connects children's natural curiosity about the world with their developing faith understanding. The rhythmic, musical language makes it ideal for read-aloud sessions, while the underlying message encourages children to recognize their own unique purpose in God's creation. Parents seeking faith-based picture books that celebrate both wonder and worship will find this story opens meaningful conversations about spirituality. The included Parent Connection resource further supports families in exploring the book's themes together, making it a valuable addition to any Christian household's library.
