About the Author

Cathryn McHenry is a licensed marriage and family therapist, Navy veteran, prior educator, and passionate storyteller with a heart for helping others find their voice. Drawing from her personal journey, Cathryn writes with empathy, depth, and hope—especially for children navigating the challenges of military life. Her debut children’s book, My Dad, The Sailor, was inspired by her son and created to help military families stay connected during times of separation. When she’s not writing, Cathryn works with individuals and families in her private therapy practice and co-runs Carrie&Cat, a small business dedicated to supporting Navy personnel and their loved ones through thoughtful, personalized products. Two more titles are currently in the works, so please come back and check for more releases later this year and in early 2026!
