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.

The Clearing

The Clearing

My hooty hoo screeching sounded nothing at all like "turn around sweetheart, it's getting dark soon" so Kay kept on going until she walked right out of the woods and into a field. The clearing was a perfect square. Trees lined the edges and the tall grass in the center was sprinkled here and there with wildflowers. Even though she had finally realized the sun was setting she felt an indescribable desire to go stand in the center of that field. So she did.
