Bree Burks never intended to be a children's author. She started as a bedside nurse and soon moved into medical research in addition to being a hospital administrator. Currently, she's the VP of Strategy for Site Solutions for Veeva Systems—and the author of 'Delight in Your Hue: The Creator Painted You.' It's a book that encourages early conversations about race that was inspired by Bree's adoption story.
