Join us for the BEST PARTY EVER to celebrate the launch of the second book in local author Stephen Shaskan's Pizza and Taco series, Pizza and Taco: Best Party Ever! This time around Pizza and Taco are bored, so they decide to throw an awesome party! What could possibly go wrong? Stephen will read a little of the book, talk about making it, answer audience questions, and maybe even do a drawing demonstration!
Stephen Shaskan is the author and illustrator of several picture books including: Big Choo, Toad on the Road, Max Speed, The Three Triceratops Tuff, A Dog Is a Dog, and the graphic novel series Pizza and Taco. He also illustrated the picture book Punk Skunks and the graphic novel series Q and Ray, both written by his wife Trisha Speed Shaskan.
