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 


Not Quite Ready

I feel like I am a good owl. I am Kay's protector and friend because I love her and it makes me happy. My sister painfully reminds me that I was also once a bully. Not only did I wince at her abnormally large egg tooth, but I also kicked her out of the nest.
It was getting crowded in there. My temper and tolerance for others were short that day. I sat down, put my feet against her back, and gave her and her nose a big shove out of the nest. She hit the ground hard and was frightened. It was cruel of me. She wasn't ready to fly.

Sorry

Who Was I?
