Hey, you! So nice of you to click to learn more about me, Kristina Henson.
I live in Upstate New York with my daughter, a Golden Retriever, and two cats. Before writing and illustrating my two books, One Hundred Birds Telling One Hundred Little Stories and Letters to Lily, I maintained a blog and regularly published personal essays while working in the graphic design industry by day and devoting the majority of the rest of my time doing what I love the most — writing and creating books. I love everything about books. With all that’s inside of them—the things I can learn, the places I can travel to, the characters I can fall in love with—what isn’t there to love?
I can define myself by being so many things: a mother, a daughter, a sister, an artist, an author, a designer. But most importantly—and what I remind myself of often—is that I am a woman who needs to create. 
I hope you enjoy a peek into my studio and life.

Time Capsule

Time Capsule

My Father cleaned the basement
and exposed an accidental time capsule.
A silver christening cup
tarnished black
that he polished until my engraved name revealed itself.
A rainbow tin full of jewelry that I wore in high school.
Moments that were photographed
and forgotten.
Strange how now seems like the right time to remember
what feels like a lifetime ago.
