This beautiful book has gorgeous illustrations with amazing attention to detail. The story shows what a delightful life Rose has with her little boy, until she becomes obsessed with a loose thread in her arm. Thoughts of the thread consume her until she is unable to have fun and do things and eventually unravels herself. In the end, Rose is able to confront her problem and come up with a solution to fix herself. This is a wonderful title to add to the home and school library collection. The author has included a section at the end on OCD; but even without that info, it is helpful to open a dialogue on problem solving with younger children.

This children's picture book comes with a twist, a necessary and useful message entwined in a cute story of having fun with friends.

Based around the life of a boy and his stuffed toy rabbit, Rose we see them play together until one day Rose's compulsions get too much for her and take over her life as she becomes fixated on a loose thread she has hanging off of her and it becomes all she thinks about.

The illustration's are so beautiful and Rose rabbit had such detail that children can fall in love with her cute raggedy design while engrossed in the tale.

There is a final note at the end of the book advising about OCD and traits to watch out for in children from early on but of course OCD can come on at any age.

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
