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.

Life Rules

Adjustments.jpeg

During her teenage years, Kay learned a lot through trial and error. A few of these things became rules that she has kept throughout her life.
Things like:  
Never drink grapefruit juice after brushing your teeth. 
Don't superglue yourself to another person.
Don't drink beer, eat ice cream, and then ride a tilt-a-whirl.
All of those types of things were dumb enough for me to sit back and watch without feeling the need to intervene. But once in a while, when I saw a train wreck coming, I did need to swoop in.
