Kenny “Sad Papaw” Harmon of viral internet fame published a book about his life and history

Aug 9, 2022 | Business

After becoming an internet star following a viral tweet last 2016, Harmon pushes his career forward by publishing a book about his life.

San Diego, CA, USA – WEBWIRE –

“On March 16, 2016, a playful tweet by Kelsey Harmon soared through cyberspace making her Papaw into America’s Sad Papaw. Now through the pages of Sad Papaw’s Heritage, we get to learn more about the man behind the image.”



Kenny Harmon’s life changed overnight when a candid photo of him went viral across the globe, dubbing him the “Sad Papaw.” From his newfound fame, he collaborated with a writer to help write a book about him, his life, and his family. From this successful collaboration, Kenny Harmon released “Sad Papaw’s Heritage.”



When he initiated a cookout for his grandchildren, Kenny Harmon was disappointed to know that only one of them came. One of his grandchildren, Kelsey Harmon, snapped a pic and posted it on the social media site Twitter as a way to mess with her cousins. Due to the nature of the platform, more and more people interacted with it and the post became an internet meme. Kenny Harmon instantly became an internet sensation, and the rest is history.



Following his quick rise to fame, a freelance writer and reporter, Charlotte Hopkins, reached out to him and offered to help him write a book. Harmon reconnected after a few months and they wrote Harmon’s history book entitled “Sad Papaw’s Heritage.”



Kenny wanted to write a book about his family because he knew there were some interesting characters among them. When he began looking into his family and his history, he discovered that it was interesting enough to be turned into a book. Hopkins and Harmon did extensive research into Harmon’s family history; they even visited museum curators to find new things.



“Sad Papaw’s Heritage” deals with Harmon’s family as they lived during the mid-1800s and their westward migration to Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. In the book, Harmon revisits seeing the early days of baseball, accompanying hardworking farmers, dreaming of the American life, and tasting graham crackers and peanut butter cookies for the first time.

To learn more about the man behind the viral image, purchase a copy of his book “Sad Papaw’s Heritage” now at Amazon or visit his website.



ReadersMagnet featured this book during the 2022 ALA Annual Conference and Exhibition that was held last June 24-27, 2022, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.

“I definitely recommend it!” Foluso Falaye, Manhattan Book Review



Good reviews are in for the book “Sad Papaw’s Heritage” (Peppertree Press) by Kenny “Sad Papaw” Harmon. The author shot into internet stardom in 2016 after his granddaughter tweeted a photo of him looking disappointed after his other grandchildren skipped a cookout he had prepared for them. Sad Papaw’s internet fame led to a collaboration with Charlotte Hopkins, a freelance writer and reporter, who offered to help him write a book, which is “Sad Papaw’s Heritage.”



This book on pioneer history as told through the experiences of the Harmon (initially spelled as Harman) clan will help the young readers get a glimpse of the past and the elders relive their youth and fair memories with their loved ones.



Foluso Falaye of Manhattan Book Review left a sparkling review for “Sad Papaw’s Heritage.” In his review piece, Falaye noted the book’s historical value, which evokes nostalgia that beckons the reader to find ways to celebrate their own past to create a rich and fulfilling present (and future life). He also pushes the book’s social value, affirming: “the need to make conscious, calculated efforts to resolve some issues,” one of which is the exploitation of workers by profit-motivated enterprises.



Falaye wrote: “Experiencing history through a family lineage provides a more personal, micro view of history that leaves a lasting and distinctive impression. Kenny Harmon’s natural and enthusiastic style gave me a warm and cozy experience that’s similar to listening to captivating stories by the fire on a cold evening.”



Overall, the reader will enjoy “Sad Papaw’s Heritage” as Falaye noted, the book moves through different events and stories at a comfortable pace while maintaining one’s attention by not spending too much time on a subject.
