Tracey Jude Murray (B.S. ’05, music therapy) has published a second
illustrated children’s book, Mr. Topaz is Left in Charge. In 2005 she got her first idea for a book based on a common problem she saw in her therapy practice—anger in kids. Filling a specialty niche in the world of children’s books, she often speaks to support groups for parents of children with autism.
