The book leads with building up an awareness of the reader's strengths and guides them step-by-step through the most effective unjamming tools. Kids who utilize this resource (with or without the guidance of a therapist or parent) will come away inspired to take command of their OCD. -- Jon Hershfield, LCMFT, Director of the Center for OCD and Anxiety at Sheppard Pratt and author of When a Family Member Has OCDIn her charming, witty, beautifully illustrated and incredibly practical "Crushing OCD Workbook for Kids," experienced clinician Natasha Daniels has distilled powerful evidence-based tools into fun-size nuggets for kids struggling with OCD.

One of the best stories I've read in a long while * Emma Carroll, author of Letters from the Lighthouse and Secrets of a Sun King *Parson's sparkling debut grabs us by the heart and leads us by the hand into a painful past filled with revelations, hope, and homecoming. Absolutely glorious! * Rita Williams Garcia, author of One Crazy Summer and Clayton Byrd Goes Underground *Parsons is great at unfurling the pleasures of the freer northern states through biracial Ella's eyes, but also adept at handling the subtleties of layered storytelling. -- Kitty Empire * Observer *[An] impressive debut * Mail on Sunday *A talented, engaging new voice.
