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. 
Kristina

For months I stayed hidden from her. She would lean out the bedroom window when she heard a hoot or screech and search the branches hoping to catch a glimpse of me. I don't know why I wouldn't let her see me. I guess I enjoyed chatting back and forth and getting to know each other while still holding back a tiny bit of the mystery of who I was. Honestly, I wasn't sure I understood the reason why I felt so compelled to watch over her. How could I have explained it to her?
