Since then, she has published more than 45 books by a dozen women from across the globe. Originally from Portland, Oregon - she now lives in Bergen, Norway with her family.

Review

"The Girl God: a picture book to show girls that god can be a girl, god is inside, god is an idea, a positive action or good deed, god is open to creative interpretation and should be about everyone. A great book to dispel the myth that god is male with wonderful illustrations by Elisabeth Slettnes. Empowerment for our girl children." -a girl's guide to taking over the world"A deceptively simple story about a whimsical young girl named Helani Claire, who would make Emily Dickinson smile as she deconstructs the patriarchal god of her father with the bluntness of a child. Akin to: If Kate Chopin was still alive, writing (and self-publishing) children's books. Elisabeth Slettnes' colorful paintings are feasts for the spirit, as are the addition of selected quotes and poems. Wisdom abounds." -Philadelphia Weekly"This book will be one I treasure, for it is rare indeed--the articulation of the divine feminine for both children and adults, a bridge between our spiritual beginning and our spiritual future, a spark for the reawakening of humanity." -Elizabeth Hall Magill, author of Defining Sexism"A powerful celebration of the divine feminine. The illustrations speak directly to an active, inner imaginative space and will pull a child naturally to seek an understanding of Trista's keen, insightful prose. The Girl God is a colorful and inventive addition for every parent's library." -Perri Birney, author of Pure Vision: The Magdalene Revelation"This is a delightfully rich book that can spark conversation and reflection on many levels-and one worth returning to again and again." -David Weiss, author of When God Was a Little Girl
