I’m so glad this book exists, having OCD myself I would have loved to have this resource as a child. A few notes for the publisher:
The first page of the pdf is blank, so there’s no cover page.
The illustration of the mom’s book says How to get rid of bossy clouds, which is a bit counterintuitive to the treatment for OCD. The cloud will likely still be there but Chloe can choose to make it smaller and not listen to it. Trying to control the thoughts/worries are what can fuel OCD. Maybe the book illustration could say How to deal with a bossy cloud.

I love books that give parents tools to talk to their kids about things! I think it's important to give children tools to handle their mental illnesses and teaching them that its okay!

This book was informative and helpful with tips for handling anxiety and OCD. The illustrations were beautiful and you could really get the sense for how overwhelming OCD can become and how it can become all encompassing and control your life.
I do worry that this book does downplay how it is a continuous struggle and not something that just goes away because you don't do what it's telling you. I also worry about the idea that kids may thing all problems go away when they "do the opposite of what is wanted'. I don't want to teach defiance to anything but anxiety and OCD.
Thank you Natasha Daniels, NetGalley and Hachette UK | Jessica Kingsley Publishers for the ARC. All opinions expressed are my own.

A great tool for discussing and learning about OCD with children. The story format was easy to follow. I enjoyed this book and think it will be a helpful tool.
