NOTE: This is the paperback version. Original hardback with jacket is at henrysworld.org/books.html Who isn't charmed by an inspiring fairytale? Who isn't captivated by a wonderful love story? Who doesn't love a happy ending? This particular love story is like nothing you've ever read before. Two unlikely lovers — a three-legged cat named Henry and a two-legged dog named Tink — meet most unexpectedly, in classic Hollywood "cute meet" style. Tink is unlike any girl Henry's ever met — and at first he doesn't know quite what to make of her. "Who is this amazing creature with her effervescent energy?" he wonders. And Tink is curious about this strong, silent guy — with his great hair. "Who are you?" she wonders as she moves to get a better look at this fine feline fellow. The story is first and foremost about self-discovery, acceptance, and how what may seem impossible to some becomes a reality. It is the meeting of two innocent souls who don't see each other as "different," but realize that we are all "different" in our own way and we are all special in our own way. In working through this discovery, feelings of admiration, love and compassion are born and these tow "souls" bond as best friends. The story of their meeting is on of love-almost -at-first-sight, as they are intrigued and entranced-rather than put off- by the differences they see in each other. As they get acquainted, with a nuzzle here and a purr there, their hearts tough... and both are transformed. An the rest, as they say, is history. This true love story of Henry and Tink will captivate kids of all ages, from 3-93. Read it and reap... a belly full of laughter and a heart full of love.

When Henry was found, his left front leg dangled uselessly from his shoulder. That could have been the end of the story for this little striped kitten. But instead, it was the beginning of an unlikely adventure, as two dog lovers rescued him. Henry had to lose his leg but what he gained was far more valuable. His is a story of survival, courage, perseverance, and triumph over barriers and bias. Henry shows his rescuers the power of love to overcome any and all obstacles. Henry’s story is for kids of all ages . . . from six to sixty . . . (and beyond!) “The more we expose our children to books that promote respect for diversity, compassion, courage, and resiliency, the more we'll see children who thrive in this incredibly complex, diverse world. Oh, how I would love to get this true tale about Henry the three-legged cat into the hands of all children! At its core, it's about so much more than a cat. I'm not a 'cat' person, so I normally don't seek out cat stories. Henry's owners, Cathy and Donna, weren't cat people either, and they certainly didn't seek him out. But sometimes we don't always get to decide what happens to us in life. What we do get to decide is how we respond. When Henry shows up with a front leg beyond repair, Cathy and Donna respond in a way that changes their lives as well as the lives of many others. There are many powerful messages in this book, but I love how Henry's life reminds us that we are not defined by our misfortunes, but by our responses to them. In the back of the book are kibbles and bits of advice and life lessons from Henry himself. The end of the book actually is only the beginning, as we learn that Henry is now a cat with a mission to help animals and children in need. (Would you believe he receives over 100 emails a day from all over the world?)” — Chinaberry CatalogALL profits from the sale of this book are being donated to animal rescue groups, shelters, zoos, and other animal causes.

Dolly’s life was perfect in every way. She was an “only dog,” beloved by her human companions. She got all the attention, all the treats, and all the love a dog could want. But all that changed one day when a tiny striped kitten came into her life — an injured kitty named Henry, who needed lots of tender loving care to recover from losing his leg. Dolly suddenly found herself with an uninvited houseguest — and a cat at that! Her life would never be the same. Dolly lost her special place as the only pet in the house, but she had much to gain. Hers is a story of mixed and confusing feelings. Together, Dolly and her human companions learned many valuable lessons in empathy, understanding, patience, and compassion. Dolly’s story is for kids of all ages (and grownups, too).
