Mommy, Who Made the Sky? (Picture Book)

Mommy, Who Made the Sky?

“Mommy, who made the world?” came the voice of a precious child.
Mommy looked in her rearview mirror to see this little girl, her baby, with chubby little cheeks and a cute crooked smile.

Kaylin was an inquisitive child; always asking questions, wanting to know more. Mommy peered back at her with a smile and replied, “God made the trees world, Kay.”

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1


That seemed to satisfy her for a brief moment. As they continued their journey down the highway, Kaylin’s mommy heard that adorable voice from the backseat, “Mommy, who made the sun?” She glanced in the rearview mirror and saw her daughter’s coal, black eyes just sparkling and she answered, “Sweetie, God made the sun.”
“Oh” Kaylin said satisfied as if it was no big deal.

And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.Genesis 1:3-5 & 16

The moment of happiness that Kaylin felt after hearing the answer to her question was short-lived.
“Mommy?”
“Yes, Kaylin,” she answered slowly, knowing there was another question coming.
“Who made the sky?” Kaylin asked grinning from ear to ear now playing a little game; the game of let’s see how many questions Kaylin can ask before really getting on Mommy’s nerves.

“Kay, you tell me. Who made the sky?” Mommy asked her trying to play her little game.
“I don’t know. Tell me, Mommy. Who made the sky?”
Once again the reply was, “God, made the sky Kaylin.” My reply was not as enthusiastic as the others.

6 And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." 8 God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. Genesis 1: 6&8

“Mommy,” Kaylin spoke quickly as if a lightbulb had just flickered above her head. A Another question Mommy thought.
“Who made the trees? They are so pretty with their white flowers.”
“Kaylin,” Mommy stretched her name trying to get across that the game was getting old. “God made the trees.”

11 Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. Genesis 1:11

Kaylin continued to play—more to bug Mommy now than anything.
“Mooommmmyyyy,” the name seemed to go on forever.
She knew what was coming, but she just didn’t know what the topic would be.
“Mommy, look at that BIG bird flying by the car.”
“WOW, Kay it’s huge.”
Whoosh no more questions. The bird had caught her attention.
There was a slight pause.
“Who made the birds?” Mommy glanced in the mirror at the amusing angel in the backseat and couldn’t help but to laugh.
“God made the birds.”

20 And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky." 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:20-21

“Kaylin, I have a great idea. When you say your prayers tonight why don’t you thank God for all of these wonderful things he has made for us to enjoy?”

“No, Mommy.”
There was a short pause before she finished her thought.
“ I will just wait for when He comes to see me sometime.”

Mommy looked back at the innocent child and just smiled realizing that Kaylin already knew more as a little girl than her mother ever would.
