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.
Los Angeles, CA - Alessandro, the son of famous Los Angeles, California-based pianist, composer and businesswoman Oksana Kolesnikova, is putting his entrepreneur-in-training foot forward to announce the launch of The A to Zs of Fighting Boredom, a new book conceived by the talented young man himself in an effort to secure future college funds - and other admirable goals.

In taking lessons from his "Pianist to the Stars" mom, Alessandro has evolved to become quite the gifted pianist himself, with his favorite subject at school being math. Instinctively wise beyond his years, the budding entrepreneur enjoys spending time with his pet ragdoll cat Bijou, studying S.T.E.M. subjects and playing chess.
