Böcker av Kenny Harmon

It was on the night of March 16, 2016, that Kenny Harmon became America's favorite grandfather-Sad Papaw. Many bittersweet events arose from his infamous bad burger moment when his granddaughter, Kelsey, posted her popular meme on Twitter. Thousands of people reached out to Kenny Harmon to claim him as their new grandfather. They traveled from nearby states just to have a burger with him. It did not stop there either. People everywhere took the time to think about their grandfather and wondered if they had spent enough time together. Not only did Kenny receive surprise visits from his "new grandchildren," but grandfathers across the country were overwhelmed with their own surprise visits from their grandchildren. People wanted to pull their grandfather a little closer to show them how much they were loved and to have a burger moment together. Through Kenny Harmon's series of books, we would now get to know the true heart of the man behind the image.

When Kelsey Harmon posted a tweet of her Papaw at a family barbecue, she had no idea that this innocent message, meant to poke fun at her cousins, would start a wave of emotion to be felt around the world. Kenny Harmon, who was now labeled Sad Papaw, quickly gained thousands of followers who felt a twinge of pain from seeing his image in Kelsey's tweet. His new friends and "adopted grandchildren" recognized a need in their own lives to reconnect with their grandparents, and indeed they did. The reaction from the tweet started a movement reminding people to hold our loved ones close and remember to make time for one another. This was a lesson that Kenny learned from his own grandparents. In the pages of the Sad Papaw: The Early Years, he shares his life experiences with readers. We travel back to the early days of Oklahoma and grown alongside Kenny and learn all about the man behind the tweet. www.sadpapawbooks.net
