  • A Maryland grandson secretly published his grandma’s children’s book she wrote more than 50 years ago. Barbara Rieco received the book she wrote as a surprise gift from her grandson, Chad Cooper. For years, she tried to get the book published but she kept receiving rejection letters. After Cooper published the book, it became the no.1 in children's multicultural literature. Inside Edition’s Steven Fabian has more.

      I totally agree with you. I'm glad it's No. 1 in Children's multicultural literature.

    This just goes to show that big publishing houses have no idea what the public actually wants to read. I'm just glad that she was able to self-publish sucessfully and retain more of the profits from these sales!
