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

Kay was standing in the middle of her bedroom and appeared to be frozen. She was startled even more when I tapped on the window at the same time that her sisters barged through the doorway. I scooted out of view so they wouldn’t see me and listened.
Kay said that she heard gunfire. Her older sister was certain she heard the motorcycle that was passing by backfire. Her younger sister thought it was the popping noise the cookie sheets make when her Mom is baking in the oven.
I had a better view. If someone looked under the junk in the trunk of the car driving away they would have known what it was.
