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

I was looking for someone just like me to have a connection with. I mostly find other birds and their chitter-chatter annoying and spend a considerable amount of time talking myself out of wanting to eat them. When my heart filled up with love for someone so different it was like having a light switch turned on. I regretted the time wasted on trying to be best friends with those silly songbirds.
I wised up.
Having different puzzle pieces that click in place so perfectly in the ways that you need them to is what makes this whole story of our life together solid.
Open your eyes wider.
Wider!
Like mine. (Maybe with less attitude?)
See that bigger picture?
It’s the wiser way to look ahead.
