Growing Pangs by Kathryn Ormsbee

4.0

I really liked the artwork and the fact that the author and illustrator were so candid about their OCD. I wasn't aware that children could have OCD and I wonder how much of it is dismissed as "just anxiety" (and I also wonder how much anxiety is actually crippling....it's a murky thing...).
I also really liked how the artist and author portrayed other peoples' anxieties as different animals - a grasshopper, a bunny, etc.
All around great book :)
