Malik's Number Thoughts: A Story about OCD
Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

A determined boy learns to manage his OCD.

Malik's obsessive-compulsive disorder means his brain wants him to do everything on the count of four. When he's invited to a minigolf birthday party, Malik is excited. But he worries about his Number Thoughts. If he has to take four tries to get the ball in the hole, he'll never win--and everyone might make fun of him. Can Malik say "no" to his Number Thoughts?
