Joanne Gerstner has written four children’s books, all non-fiction, historically-bent, but fun. She looks at the storied runs of the Detroit Tigers, Detroit Pistons, the Toronto Raptors and Blue Jays. The books, which are designed for in and out-of-classroom use, aim to get children from 3-6th grades interested in reading about their favorite teams. They are published by SportsZone, a division of ABDO publishing.
