About the Author
Bree Galbraith is a children's book author from Vancouver, BC. She will graduate from the University of British Columbia with a master's in Creative Writing in the spring of 2020, and will add this to her master of design from Emily Carr University, and hopefully be done advancing her education ... at least for now. Bree writes the kinds of books that she would have wanted her children to read when they were young. With one pre-teen, and one early teen, her kids noticed a lack of representation in media when they were growing up. As children of mixed race, they felt they weren't seeing themselves reflected in a book, and now work with their mom to add their voice to her work. Growing up on the campus of an art school helped her children speak critically about identity from a young age, so Bree is lucky to have them on board for this career!Her recent work focuses on the idea of little heroines breaking down power structures and creating change. She writes strong characters who are fed-up with the status-quo in their mythical universe, and use their power and ingenuity to ignite change. Her work has been described as having a contemporary fairytale vibe, and she uses metaphor to allow space for parents and educators to discuss different ideas that spring to mind in their children/students. She is always looking to connect with authors and educators, so please get in touch!
