In “Don’t Forget to Remember,”
Holcomb uses rhyme and beauty to remind young readers of comforting
truths from God. When they see snowflakes fall, they can remember that
God made each person as one of a kind. If they hear the waves crash to
shore again and again, they’ll recall that God’s love never runs out.
High and low, on sad days and glad days, creation reminds us that God’s
love is ever-present. Holcomb ends her comforting reminder with a
message for hearts young and old: “And even on days you forget what is
true, don’t forget to remember God won’t forget you.”
“This book was
largely inspired by Psalm 19, which says, ‘The heavens declare the
glories of God,’” said Holcomb. “I hope ‘Don’t Forget To Remember’ will
help children and the adults in their lives pay attention to the
beautiful song creation sings each day. There are countless clues that
point us to the truth, and my hope is that this book will be like a
treasure map to help us all discover and remember the wonders of God’s
love for us.”
Holcomb will also
release another children’s EP to accompany the book on February 21,
titled “Sing: Remembering Songs.” The songs on “Sing” are rooted in
Scripture to remind children (and adults) of how God created the earth
to remind us of his love.
Holcomb’s first
book, “Who Sang the First Song?” (October
2018, B&H Publishing Group), spent several months on the
Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA) juvenile bestseller
list and was a finalist for Christian Book of the Year in the
children’s category.
“I hope ‘Don’t Forget
to Remember’ will start many conversations about what really matters at
the end of the day,” said Holcomb. “My dream is that this book will be
like a campfire to gather around each night, and that it will warm each
heart with the light of God’s love for them.”
Holcomb partnered
once again with illustrator Kayla Harren, who worked with her to create
the illustrations for “Who Sang the First Song?”
“Sharing the creative
process with Ellie Holcomb is nothing short of delightful; she conveys
not only her lyrical and musical talents but also an instinctive joy
and an intense love for the Lord,” said Michelle Freeman, B&H Kids
Publisher. “Readers will feel that joy and love in the pages of ‘Don’t
Forget to Remember,’ which no doubt will soon be recited and sung by
many little voices.”
B&H is supporting
the book with national marketing and publicity campaign. Each pre-order
will also include a LifeWay exclusive, jacketed hardcover copy of “Who
Sang the First Song?” For more information, visit https://www.ellieholcomb.com/dont-forget-to-remember
