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.

Feeling Everything

Feeling Everything

kristina henson

I was so young at the time. I thought someone was failing to show up for her and was quick to judge that someone wasn't doing their job as the parent, a protector. A little girl shouldn't go to bed feeling scared.

Now that I have lived all these years, I'm wise enough to know that some people are born feeling everything that everyone around them feels. The joy, the light and unfortunately, the sadness. She is one of these people.
