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 

The Middle

Back at the new house, no one seemed concerned that it looked like the weight of the world was tied to Kay's feet. Moping is a fairly quiet activity so I guess the long face was easy enough to overlook. As the middle child, when noticed, she was rewarded for being pleasant and keeping the peace. Isn't it interesting how kids learn to function within their families at such a young age? What other choice is there though? You either figure out your role and play the part or you crumble.
