The Church Times has said of him: 'What Michael Morpurgo has done for children's fiction, Henderson has done for poetry'.
[1] Henderson's poetry, which is often humorous, sometimes adopts the perspective of a child struggling to understand more about their place in the universe.
He was shortlisted for the Scottish Children's Book Awards for Who Left Grandad at the Chipshop?
[4] He was instrumental in the production of From Hairnets To Goalnets,[5] a documentary on Britain’s first women’s football team.
Other programmes he has worked on include Poetry in Politics, the educational series Wide Awake At Bedtime,[6] and The Holy Fire[7] which was shot on location in Israel and won the Jerusalem Radio Award for Best Feature in 2006.
