Barbara Lowell

Join us for the official book launch for Tulsa author, Barbara Lowell and her new picture book, Sparky & Spike: Charles Schulz and the Wildest, Smartest Dog Ever.

This charming book is a story about a boy nicknamed Sparky and his beloved dog, Spike. Spike is the most amazing dog ever. He inspires Sparky to draw. Someday, Sparky will be an artist. Based on the childhood of Charles Schulz, creator of the world-renowned Peanuts comic, and the dog who inspired the most beloved dog of all—Snoopy—this book will resonate with children everywhere. Sparky & Spike includes a biographical note, as well as archival photographs of Sparky and Spike and a letter Charles Schulz wrote to the book’s illustrator, Dan Andreasen, when Andreasen was a boy.

This event is free and open to the public. Copies of Sparky & Spike will be available for sale at Magic City Books starting April 28.
