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.

A Dream

A Dream

kristina henson

Last night, I had a dream that I was sitting on the tip of a star looking over at the earth.
The whole planet took a deep breath and puffed up.
Then slowly let the air out.
That's it.
Nothing else happened.
We were just hanging out in space taking deep breaths.
At the same time, she was having a dream about flying. It's the same dream she always has. She is in a field running and jumping. It takes so much effort to get off the ground but when she does, for just a few seconds, she is weightless and free.
How do I know what she is dreaming of?
She tells me everything.
