About Sounding Joy - The Book

What does joy sound like?

Does it sound like falling snow or a kiss on your cheek? Award-winning recording artist Ellie Holcomb explores this question through a delightful collection of Christmastime scenes, leading up to the discovery that joy sounds like the angels singing that Jesus had been born.

Ellie has released children’s music as a companion to this board book. Her sweet and lovely celebration of Christmas encourages each reader, young and old, to lift up their voice and repeat sounding joy!

For every copy of Sounding Joy purchased on ellieholcomb.com, one dollar will be donated to Sounding Joy, Inc. to help provide hearing aids to children whose families can’t afford them.

About Sounding Joy - The Organization

Sounding Joy, Inc., is a 501c3 nonprofit organization founded by Christy Vogel to help people with permanent hearing loss who don’t qualify for financial assistance and cannot afford hearing aids. It partners with Phonak, school districts, and ENT practices to provide new, professionally fitted hearing aids. Christy needed hearing aids as a child and her family couldn’t afford them. Insurance didn’t cover them. When she finally got her first pair of hearing aids in her late 20s, she realized all she’d been missing. She also discovered that hearing-impaired children who don’t have hearing aids are more than twice as likely to become addicted to drugs and alcohol and more than five times as likely to attempt suicide. So she started Sounding Joy to save the lives of hearing-impaired children. All donations are fully tax-deductible. For more information, visit soundingjoy.org

About the Author, Ellie Holcomb

For eight years, she recorded and toured full-time with her husband's band, Drew Holcomb and 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 on Christian radio with "The Broken Beautiful" and a GMA Dove Award for "New Artist of the Year." Her critically-acclaimed sophomore LP, Red Sea Road, followed in 2017. In subsequent years, Holcomb has released two children's books - each with a companion EP of original music written specifically for kids, the second of which earned her a Dove Award for "Children's Album of the Year," in 2020. In 2021, she released her third full-length solo project, Canyon, to much acclaim. "A deeper sorrow, a higher hope; to be broken is to be human," Ellie Holcomb says to sum up the content of her latest album. Her third children's book, Sounding Joy, is available now!
