How did a retired business-to-business marketing professional decide to write a children’s picture book when he turned 68? During the summer of 2020 when the pandemic was limiting his activities, Jerry Gale had the most fun swimming with his three grandchildren in his backyard pool. He had an idea: Why not publish a children's picture book about three kids having a great time swimming in their grandfather's pool? They say you should write about what you know. So, he wrote the book "Swimming in Grandpa’s Pool." He lives in Brooklyn Park, MN.
