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 

Old Wings

Old Wings

kristina henson

I'm almost 30 years old. I'm getting tired. My wings ache after a few minutes of swooshing and hunting. The thrill of taking down an eagle or bird larger than myself is gone. A frog or mouse will do– just a little snack that doesn't put up too much of a fight. I'm not afraid to leave this world. Dying will probably only hurt for a few minutes. What I am afraid of is knowing that in the moments before I take my last breath what will hurt the most is my heart breaking into tiny pieces knowing it is the last time I will see your face.
