Kaleidoscope Children’s Books

Kaleidoscope is a company retelling children’s bible stories at an elementary level. Chris, the founder, has kids of his own and felt there was a gap where storybook bibles felt too young but children’s bibles felt too advanced. He created kaleidoscope and got funding through kickstarter. He began by retelling the book of Acts and reached out to me to illustrate the book. He then wrote the books of Matthew and John and I illustrated them as well.
Acts 10
I went for a loose and child-like style. They were drawn on paper, scanned in, then digitally colored with watercolor brushes in photoshop.
Acts 11
Matthew 27
Acts 17-18
Matthew 19
Matthew 11
Kaleidoscope has gone on to be extremely successful. I had to leave the project when I went back to school but they now have 17 books, bible studies, coloring books, and have sold 100,000 audiobooks.
