Abstract

This study aims to explain how the meaning of creativity values and problem-solving skills are formed in students through the children's storybook *Kue Pisang Asyik* by Syarifah Zurriyati with illustrations from AMECO. The research approach applied is descriptive qualitative with content analysis methods that study narrative elements, visuals, and educational contexts for early childhood. The research findings show that creativity values are formed from three main elements, namely the use of creative language and encourage exploration of ideas, the behavior of the main character that illustrates the courage to experiment and innovate, and images that depict the creation process in a fun way. Problem-solving values are reflected in children's thinking processes in identifying problems, exploring various solution options, making decisions, and reflecting on the results. The book *Kue Pisang Asyik* shows a combination of innovation and problem-solving skills in children's daily lives. These results indicate that storybooks for children have the potential to be an effective literacy medium in developing creative character, critical thinking skills, and independence in preschool children.
