The Notations of Cooper Cameron by Jane O'Reilly
4.0
Death is hard for a child to deal with. Cooper is a young boy trying to navigate the feelings of sadness and guilt he feels after the death of his grandfather. This grief manifests itself into OCD behaviors. These behaviors take a toll on him physically and mentally. His family is at its wits end, especially The Father.
I've rarely come across a book that deals with OCD in children and this story is truly a gift to help us all understand what might be going on inside the mind of someone who is dealing with this crippling mental illness. Cooper is lovable, strong and someone I wanted to cheer for throughout the story. It's a perfect middle grade book to teach kids about compassion and acceptance.
