I Wish I Had This Book Growing Up
This is an absolute must-read! As an adult with OCD, this book genuinely validated my struggles and reminded me that there’s hope. Though it’s written for children, it accurately portrays the diverse ways that OCD can present itself, making it incredibly relatable for adults too. There are so many misconceptions about OCD and I wish there were more resources like this out there. Whether you have OCD yourself, are a parent of a child with it, or are a professional in the field, this book provides an amazing and gentle introduction to such a complex disorder. If my kids end up having OCD, I will definitely be using this book as a tool to begin introducing them to what OCD is and the best way to face it. Also, I love how the illustrations are minimalist yet warm and unique. I only wish I'd had a resource like this growing up!
