Powerfully illustrated, A Thought Is Just a Thought is the compelling and sympathetic story of Jenny, who suffers from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). 

It describes how Jenny visits the doctor with her mother, who notices that Jenny is haunted by fears that she tries to keep at bay by tapping the wall with her fingers or by avoiding the white squares of the kitchen's black-and-white-tiled floor. The kindly doctor, Dr. Mike, helps Jenny overcome her fears by showing her how to rethink the "bad thoughts" so that, eventually, she stops dwelling on her fears and realizes that a thought is, after all, just a thought. 

A Thought Is Just a Thought is the first book for both children and parents confronting the surprisingly common childhood illness of OCD. It is an excellent resource for parents and for doctors who wish to help children understand their debilitating psychological illness.
