11. Mr. Worry: A Story About OCD
This book, which is designed for children ages four through eight, can help young children understand OCD and its debilitating effects. It can also help parents and caregivers explain to children what OCD is and why it is affecting their children the way that it does.
Kevin is a little boy whose life is dominated by OCD. Every night, before he can go to sleep, he has to follow a routine that doesn’t seem to make sense. He has to check under his bed for a light that isn’t there. A minute later, he has to check again. He also has to ask his mom the same question repeatedly. By the end of the book, Kevin’s OCD has improved, thanks to medication and therapy.
