Children's Author Pens Emotional Book About Grief Two Years After His Daughter's     Unexpected Death During his childhood author Lehman Riley was fascinated by his grandfather Papa Lemon. Unfortunately, Papa Lemon passed away in 1973 when Lehman was 10 years old.  Lehman's love and admiration for Papa Lemon inspired him to write “The Adventures of Papa Lemon's Little Wanderers” children's series book. Papa Lemon's Magical Train transports 5 racially diverse friends, the Little Wanderers, back in time in order for them to meet great U.S. historical figures. Most importantly, Papa Lemon serves as a positive African American grandfather role model for the five friends.  Two years ago, Lehman's life was turned upside down. His 23 year old daughter passed away unexpectedly in June 2020. The pain and grief of the loss of his daughter was unbearable. Countless hours of prayer and dependence on God, has slowly melted away some of the pain. Last year Lehman was inspired to write a book about “Grief” in order to help others dealing with loss and to honor the life of his daughter Tianna. “The Adventures of Papa Lemon's Little Wanderers: Losing Lizzy A Story of Grief” is a 36-page book that shows readers that even when the tears won't stop flowing and it feels like happiness will never return, one day they will smile and laugh again. Lehman states “I always heard life can change in a split second. For some reason I didn't think it would happen to me in such a painful way. I was on my knees praying for all my family and friends that night before my daughter died. The days after, I thanked God for choosing me out of all the men in the world to be Tianna's Father. What a gift from my heavenly Father.” Visit www.papalemonedu.com for more information about the Papa Lemon Books.

Buyers are some of my favorite people in the industry. They act as counselors, gatekeepers, risk-takers and partners. They have the difficult task of maximizing returns on their particular section or category. The better we understand this the more successfully we can partner with them to launch hit products.

His latest endeavor is a fantastic book series, Papa Lemon’s Little Wanderers, which is taking him into the depths of children’s book publishing: http://papalemonedu.com/ Thank you Paul for the great discussion and insight into the mind of a buyer.
