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 Memory of a Scar

The Memory of a Scar

Worse yet, what if Kay got amnesia?
What if she wasn't able to remember the night she and Anne jumped out of her bedroom window and went to that party anyway? Kay wouldn't be able to tell her four children that it was the night she met her future husband, their Dad. Or that the scar on her palm was from the rock she landed on. She wouldn't be able to recall and laugh at how silly it was to jump out of the window when they really could have just walked out the front door. Anne's parents were early and sound sleepers and probably wouldn't have heard them, but jumping out of the window felt more rebellious and adventurous. These would be terrible memories to lose track of in a broken mind.
