Learn all about OCD and what it's like to live with it. This is a kids' book about OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), which is a mental health condition. People with OCD have recurring, repetitive thoughts that can feel impossible to ignore. This book helps kids aged 5-9 learn about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder from a kid who has OCD herself, with illustrations by a grownup with OCD, too. It offers unique insight into the condition, a warmth and openness about what it is like, and the opportunity for readers to grow in understanding. A Kids Book About OCD features:
- A large and bold, yet minimalist font design that allows kids freedom to imagine themselves in the words on the pages.
- A friendly, approachable, empowering, and child-appropriate tone throughout.
- An incredible and diverse group of authors in the series who are experts or have first-hand experience of the topic.

Critical Reviews
"Hall, just nine years old at publication, brings an exceptional level of insight and clarity to OCD. Her voice is direct yet tender, demystifying obsessive-compulsive disorder from a firsthand perspective. She deftly addresses the harm of stereotypes while offering empowering language for self-understanding. Expressive illustrations enhance the heartfelt message, making abstract feelings tangible for young readers." - School Library Journal, starred review
