Over the past three years at university, I\u2019ve developed a deep passion for illustration, which I\u2019ve channelled into creating a meaningful and inclusive children\u2019s book. Inspired by my own experience with Dyspraxia; a neurological condition that affects coordination and movement, I\u2019ve written a story to raise awareness whilst also supporting word learning and language development in young readers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"socialstack\"><span class=\"material-icons md-24\">handshake<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/t.trippart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with <span id=\"withme\"><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p><!--FILE01 IMG--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mediafileviewer mfvimages\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading =\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofdesignleeds.com\/ds25\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Tara-Tripp-01-scaled.jpg\" width=\"100%\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2560px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2560\/1707;\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mfv-caption\">The book takes you on a journey with \u2018Murray the Meerkat\u2019, who demonstrates the challenges and positive attributes of living with Dyspraxia. Using insights from psychological research, I\u2019ve developed the narrative and characters to help children develop empathy and knowledge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--FILE02 IMG--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mediafileviewer mfvimages\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading =\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofdesignleeds.com\/ds25\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Tara-Tripp-02-scaled.jpg\" width=\"100%\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2560px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2560\/1707;\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mfv-caption\">Interestingly, the relationship between a parent and child during reading times is vital for emotional bonding and cognitive growth. However, according to the NSPCC (2024), 107,00 children were living in care in the UK between 2022-2023. To help bridge this gap and ensure all children can access the same developmental benefits, I\u2019ve included a QR code in the book that links to an audiobook version, ensuring that every child can be equally engaged within the story, regardless of personal circumstances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--FILE03 IMG--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mediafileviewer mfvimages\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading =\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofdesignleeds.com\/ds25\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Tara-Tripp-03-scaled.jpg\" width=\"100%\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2560px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2560\/1920;\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mfv-caption\">Take a seat in my children\u2019s library and discover Murray\u2019s inspiring journey.
