Mixed Up Book Club with Mark Lemon on grief, the lack of diversity in children’s books, and parenting mixed kids as a white father
The one where we're creating a legacy
Emma and Nicole chat to award-winning children’s author, podcaster and grief and mental health speaker Mark Lemon. When Mark was 12-years-old his father was murdered and he has now dedicated his life to helping children, young people, and adults struggling to come to terms with their grief and loss and launched his podcast, Grief Is My Superpower in 2019.
Disillusioned with the lack of diversity in children’s books, Mark (with two mixed-race children of his own) decided to create the Otis & Thea series of exciting story books with non-white characters at the helm.
