Mark Lemon is an award-winning children’s author, public speaker, podcaster, grief & mental health speaker and bereavement ambassador for children's charity, Winston's Wish. 

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. Mark has been featured on BBC Radio 1, Independent, The Guardian, The Telegraph, Daily Mail, METRO, London Live Television and Happiful Magazine. 

In 2019, Mark launched his podcast, Grief Is My Superpower, in support of children’s bereavement charity, Winston’s Wish. For each episode Mark speaks with inspirational people that get open and honest about their own experience with grief. Grief Is My Superpower has been ranked in the Top 10 Shows Charts on Apple Itunes.

Disillusioned with the lack of diversity in children’s books, Mark (with two mixed-race children of his own) decided to create a series of exciting story books with non-white characters. With thrilling tales and beautiful adventures, the Otis & Thea Lemon series have become a firm favourite in family households.  Mark's children’s books are available to order from Waterstones, Foyles, Amazon, Lemon Drop Books and he has won awards at the Junior Design Magazine Awards.

REVIEWS

Style Me Sunday - "Finally a book that reflects not only my family, but the wonderfully colourful diversity of the world we live in. There is a really lovely mix of reality and fantasy in these books. The characters and story line are exciting and interesting to both kids and parents, and the length of the book (really important) is just about perfect, you can tell the author is a dad himself. I can imagine that he wrote exactly the kind of books he always wanted to read to his kids."
Anna Whitehouse, Mother Pukka - “What's not to love? There's a magical scooter and a proper storyline; I was as enthralled as my daughter. This is essential bedtime reading that won't have parents trying to skip pages. Nice work Mark. Bring on the next.”
