The A to Zs of Fighting Boredom is a coloring book conceived by 8-year-old Alessandro Concas. It lists, in alphabetical order, countless fun activities for children to do when they are bored, including coloring the book itself. Alessandro, a student at Tesoro del Valle Elementary School, explains his inspiration behind the project: "One day, during a summer break, I found myself feeling quite bored, and that's when I came up with the idea of The A to Zs of Fighting Boredom. My hope is that children like me discover fun activities when they themselves feel bored, and I plan on putting whatever money is made on sales of the book toward my college fund and other projects." Alessandro will also donate 10-percent of profits to Smile Train, a noteworthy international children's charity devoted to solving the problem of cleft lip and palate.
