Let's Get Pizza Instead!

Let's Get Pizza Instead! is a beautiful, unique, and hilarious limited-edition coloring book from 826 Valencia, a San Francisco non-profit dedicated to building writing skills in under-resourced SF youth. This coloring book invites readers and artists of all ages into our treasured field trip program, in which an elementary school class collaboratively writes a story with professional illustrator. The drawings collected here bring to life such kid-creations as Gooey Scaly Pink Tiger and Stella Flynn the Snat, sure to entertain kids of all ages and the young at heart. The illustrators featured are all Bay Area artists, and all proceeds benefit 826 Valencia's free programs.

Ashley Despain is the Children's Book Buyer at the iconic Green Apple Books in San Francisco. He can operate power tools safely, can drive a stick shift satisfactorily, and has volunteered as an illustrator in the Field Trip Program at 826 Valencia for two years.
