The Adventures of Ray at the Zoo

Project type

Children's Book

Role

Author and Illustrator

This children's book follows the adventures of a girl with ADHD, subtly showcasing her symptoms through her daily experiences without directly addressing her condition. The aim is to demonstrate that she can fully enjoy life and activities just like her peers, emphasizing her strengths rather than her challenges. I illustrated the book digitally, using vibrant and playful visuals to captivate young readers.

In addition to the story, I’ve included a brief explanation of ADHD tailored for children, helping them understand themselves or their peers in a simple, reassuring way. My goal was to show that ADHD is nothing to make a big deal of, fostering understanding and acceptance. This project was also the basis for my degree essay, where I explored disabilities in children's books to create a more inclusive and accessible story for kids.
