Heather Henson was born and raised in central Kentucky in a summerstock theater her father founded sixty years ago, and her family still owns and operates. After moving to New York City to study theater and filmmaking, Heather decided to focus on her first love: writing. She graduated from the New School with a degree in creative writing and literature, and went on to work as an editor of children’s books at a major publisher. After many years in New York, she returned to her home state of Kentucky to focus on her writing, which has always been deeply influenced by her roots. Heather’s picture book, That Book Woman, won the Christopher Award as well as the Great Lakes Book Award. |
