The inception of Morgan’s Magical Media stemmed from Morgan’s Magical Books, inspired by Morgan Silber when she challenged her father, Jere Silber to write Tree Story. Morgan was five years old at the time, and Tree Story was her father's first children's book. That marked the beginning of Morgan’s Magical Media, a venture created in Morgan’s honor. Morgan’s Magical Media would have never happened if Morgan had not challenged her father to write Tree Story.
Jere Silber is an accomplished writer, producer, and director with an impressive portfolio in cable television. An award-winning camera operator, he is best known for his work on "News Counterpoint." In 1999, Jere received a Monty Award for writing, producing, and directing a video inspired by his debut children's book, "Tree Story". The audiobook version of “Tree Story” was included in the 44th Annual Grammy Awards in the Spoken Word category.
In 2001, he earned his second Monty Award for producing "Mister Word Wizard," a children's television show starring Richie Havens. Jere continued to enrich his literary repertoire with "Up in the Sky," published in 2014 to celebrate the birth of his first granddaughter, Skylar. His book, "Together," launched on Amazon on December 6, 2022, and has garnered multiple accolades, including:
