Morgan Wants to Build is the story of a young child with the courage to dream big in the face of opposing opinions, unconventional choices, and reliable comfort.

With colorful illustrations and fun, rhyming prose, this book encourages young readers to stay curious and courageous as they get to know their own unique interests and talents.

Meet Morgan

Morgan was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After graduating from The University of Southern California she settled back in Pittsburgh permanently, where she embarked on a career in sales. Eventually she left her career to follow her dreams in construction.

She founded her own company, American Dreamers Renovations, in 2010.  Now she’s building and remodeling to her heart’s content while bringing her clients’ dreams to life.

She lives in Pittsburgh with her family, her dogs, and her pig, Bacon. When she’s not working, she’s busy working on future books where Morgan will learn about different jobs in the construction industry and about the tools and machines.  She continues to work on her own dream house in real life – it even has a glass floor and a two-story slide built onto the front porch!

Praise for Morgan Wants to Build

“Every story and every book that empowers young girls is a good story to tell.”

Nicole T., Campaign Director, Public Policy Professor, and Mother of two brave, brilliant girls

“Through this beautifully illustrated book, Morgan shows young readers that even though a goal may be difficult to reach at first, it can be achieved with focus and patience. It’s okay to let a dream take shape over time; it doesn’t have to happen right away. The important thing is to not give up on it!”

Abby D., Children’s Library Worker

“An inspiring story. I heard victory music in my head as I read through the last few pages. The book captures the sentiment, ‘If you can dream it and put your mind to it, you can accomplish it’ perfectly.”

Jean M., Chemical Engineer and VP of Sustainability for a Global Glass Innovator

This book makes a wonderful gift

Morgan reminds parents and children to ask what if and to stay open minded and fearless in the pursuit of their dreams. It’s an invitation to dream big, learn new things, and be brave.
