From lived experience, Shanna Simpson has crafted an insightful children's story that illuminates OCD from the mind of a child, and effectively captures the need for support to address mental health.

An excellent additional to picture book nonfiction that I plan to integrate into my classroom in the future.

I really loved this book. It was really well illustrated and it represented OCD well. I think this book is good for both children with OCD so they can understand it more and realize they are not alone. It is also helpful for children without OCD to learn about children who are different than them. While the story may not be the most gripping for children, it does a great job explaining OCD and what it is like. The illustrations are very catching though, so I think it is a good balance with such an informative story.

This is a great book for any young children that are suffering from OCD, it explains to them that they are not alone and also gives them hints and tips on how to try and deal with it and encourages them to speak to their parents about it - 4 stars

Payton is a boy who begins obsessively cleaning, and can't figure out why. His parents take him to a doctor, where he finds out he has OCD. This book did a great job of introducing and explaining OCD to kids. It doesn't come off as scary, and I really appreciated the way it touches on different methods of treatment that someone might try. The author herself has OCD, which I think is really important for books like this to make sure things are authentic and not offensive. Highly recommend this for elementary school classrooms.

Insightful and educational book. Information is done well with words and illistrations. Good illistrations. Read with your kids! Would recommend this book.

There will be children who need to see and hear this book. This would be a must-have for lower elementary libraries or guidance officers' rooms.
