Alexandra Sanchez is the author of the Okelani's Enchanted Wheelchair book series and founder of Kamoke Publishing. Kamoke Publishing is named after her daughters, Kamea and Okelani. She is an entrepreneur and fashion designer, but most importantly a mother/caregiver. She is from Albuquerque, New Mexico but recently moved her family to Denver, Colorado to be closer to the children's hospital.
As a special needs mother to Okelani, she saw firsthand the lack of books representing kids with disabilities and special needs. This inspired her to write her first children's book, Okelani's Enchanted Wheelchair Space Bound!
Specifically for kids that are "wheelchair bound". It was very important for her to write them their own fairytale, wheelchairs included. But she wrote these books for all kids to enjoy, and have some much needed conversations with their parents about disabilities and accessibility in a fun way. She also wanted to encourage inclusion and start some friendships.
Alexandra has shipped OEW Space Bound! all around the country and is very happy with the feedback she has received. She feels she is living in her purpose and can't wait to write more Okelani's Enchanted Wheelchair books.
