The Stories of God (and Kiki)
(Made in His Image)
July 19, 2022
From the creators of The Inventions of God (and Eva) comes a delightfully illustrated picture book that tells the story of would-be author and artist Kiki—and the God who created her to be a lot like Him.
Little Kiki is an aspiring author and illustrator who weaves daring tales about swashbuckling otters, all-knowing sea cucumbers, and nail-biting rescues from the clutches of gerblins (part gerbil, part goblin). But where do her imagination, creativity, and ideas come from?
Meet God, the author of all stories. He writes adventurous tales such as Esther Saves Her Family and Friends, Jesus and the Tomb that Couldn’t Hold Him, and the Story of Kiki.
Kiki loves to write but sometimes she forgets to include important pieces (like the time she forgot to give the ship’s cook a kitchen). God also loves to write, and He knows exactly what every story needs. They are both writing their biggest story of all, and the endings are bound to be incredible.
Children and parents alike will delight in the playful illustrations, imaginative side stories, and the gentle reminder that the image of God is alive in each of us.

My thoughts: this is an adorable children's picture book about a little girl named Kiki and
God and how God and Kiki are alike and how God and Kiki are different. Children will
enjoy looking at the pictures and reading the ways that God and Kiki are similar and how
they are not. Excellent book for starting discussions with young children. Recommended
for church libraries and Christian preschools as well as personal libraries for children.
The artwork is very well done but a little bit busy. I was given a copy free and all
opinions are my own.
