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 

A Changed Point of View

A Changed Point of View

kristina henson

From treetop to treetop I flew
and changed my point of view.
It became quite clear
there was nothing to fear.
All it took
was another look
from the top of this tree
to see
if she didn't dally and roam,
it was a straight shot to home.
Lucky me
to be so free,
and watch the world below
from my perch on this bough.
