OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., July 11, 2022 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Two bookstores in Oklahoma City welcome Los Angeles-based child author Sammy Wallace. His first book, “I slept in my bed last night” (ISBN 979-8985784404), will be read by Sammy at Bella’s Books and Boutique (11 a.m.-1 p.m.) and Full Circle Bookstore (2:30 p.m. reading and 3 midday signings) , both on Saturday July 16, 2022.
Sammy developed the book’s premise (when he was five) at the start of COVID-19 amid shutdowns across California. With school closures, Sammy has kept busy exercising his imagination and composing stories with his grandmother, Dr Gwendolyn Mukes, an educator in her 50s.
