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 

Protesting does make a difference

Protesting does make a difference

I received a coupon for a bargain brand of bird food. Like most folks I know, I’m looking at astonishingly high grocery bills and trying to find places to save. So, I bought it.

My backyard birds hate it.

My backyard birds hate it.

Even the Blue Jay, who will usually eat anything I put out there, turned his beak up at it. It wasn't the first time I'd tried swapping out the good stuff for a cheaper bag. I was hoping they'd either forgotten my previous offense or would be more forgiving this time.

Not so.

They're angry. They mean business. And they won.

I surrendered to the protest and bought their favorite birdseed. The squirrels are reluctantly working their way through the bargain-bin True Value blend.
