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 


Shadow Dancing

Remember when I said that all eyes were on the new kid at school? Well, a set of these eyes belonged to a boy named Robert. He asked Kay to go to a dance with him, and she said yes. The dance was in the school gymnasium. All the lights were turned off, disco balls were spinning, the Bee Gees were cranked, and Kay and Robert made out behind the bleachers for 45 minutes. That boy kissed every bit of Bonnie Bell lip gloss off her lips. They didn't dance once. I couldn't understand why anyone would want to kiss someone for that long.
