How Galunker Was Created
The book Galunker was made possible through a special way of raising money called Kickstarter. Kickstarter is a website where people can donate small amounts of money to help creative projects get started. For Galunker, the goal was to raise $27,000.
However, the project ended up raising even more! Supporters donated a total of $55,000. This extra money helped make sure the book could be published and shared with many readers. Mainstream publishers were hesitant to publish a children's book about a pitbull because of common misunderstandings about the breed.
