Morgan Goble wanted to be an illustrator since she was in kindergarten, and today she gets to work full-time illustrating children’s books! She studied illustration at Sheridan College and received her first book offer shortly after graduating. Morgan’s work has been primarily targeted for middle grade audiences, but she also loves working on picture books for younger readers. Her first picture book is set to publish in 2025.

Editorial Reviews

"You can't change the world without economically empowering women. Alexa knows this better than anyone! She has spent a great deal of her life developing financial education curriculum and tools to help people make smart choices...I only wish I had a book like this when I was a young girl! This book is a gift that every kid needs to begin the practice of smart financial decisions. Every child deserves to know more about how money works to improve their lives. The earlier this education happens, the better! I'm so thankful that Alexa has written this book to help empower young people to make smart financial choices." - Reese Witherspoon, Author of Busy Betty & the Circus Surprise

"We all strive to raise children who feel strong and capable in the world. Money Matters is the go-to guide for giving girls confidence for all things money, so they can feel financially literate and empowered right from the start." - Dr. Becky Kennedy, Founder & CEO, Good Inside
