That Construction Worker Is My Mom is the inspiring story that started it all, a celebration of courage, curiosity, and carving your own path.
Told through the eyes of a young girl, this empowering picture book follows the journey of her mom, a trailblazing construction project manager who broke stereotypes, went to college, and stepped confidently into a career few expected a woman to pursue. From blueprints to steel beams, her mom leads crews, manages complex builds, and proves every day that leadership in construction doesn't look just one way.
As the little girl dreams of her own future, she imagines becoming an engineer, an architect, a scientist, any STEM career she chooses, all because her mother showed her it was possible.
This book is a rallying cry for dreamers, doers, and future trailblazers: a reminder that no one gets to decide what you're capable of except you. Whether your path leads through college, a trade program, or hands-on training, you belong wherever your passion takes you.
Because building the future isn't just for boys. It's for anyone brave enough to pick up the plans and say, I can do this, too.
