"A Rule Is To Break says: Go ahead and throw your best self a party! So glad it exists."-- Kristin Hersh, Throwing Muses
"After encountering the lively little anarchist in John and Jana's delightful A Rule is To Break, I will always remember the playful little devil with a mind of her own. A children's book on anarchy seems somehow just right: an instinctive, intuitive sense of fairness, community, and interdependence sits naturally enough with a desire for participatory democracy, self-determination, and peace and global justice."--Bill Ayers, author of To Teach: The Journey in Comics and Fugitive Days
Simply celebrating childhood: the joy, the wonder of discovery, the spontaneity, and strong emotions. . . . Wild Child is free to do as she pleases. A Rule Is To Break: A Child's Guide to Anarchy follows Wild Child as she learns about just being herself and how that translates into kid autonomy. It presents the ideas of challenging societal expectations and tradition and expressing yourself freely in kid-terms that are both funny and thought provoking--it even functions as a guidebook for adults to understand what it is to be a critically thinking, creative individual. Wild Child is the role model for disobedience that is sometimes civil.

John Seven and Jana Christy's previous collaboration The Ocean Story won Creative Child magazine's 2011 Creative Child Award Seal of Excellence and  the 2012 Francis and Wesley Bock Book Award for Children's Literature.

About the Author:
John and Jana found success in comics with their book Very Vicky. In 2003, their illustrated family travelogue, Four Go Mad in Massachusetts, was published by Commonwealth Editions. Most recently, John and Jana collaborated on two picture books, Happy, Sad, Silly, Mad: My World Makes Me Feel (Andrews McMeel, 2009), and The Ocean Story (Picture Windows, 2011), which won Creative Child magazine's 2011 Creative Child Award Seal of Excellence and the 2012 Francis and Wesley Bock Book Award for Children's Literature. A board book for the under-five crowd, A Year With Friends, is forthcoming from Abrams in 2012, as well as Happy Punks 1-2-3: A Counting Story, the world's first true punk rock children's book from Manic D Press.
Review:
"This is the softer side of anarchy, with an emphasis on fun and independence, but also community and kindness. Seven and Christy's heroine wouldn't look out of place in a Peter H. Reynolds story, and their message isn't far from his work either--it's just been cranked up to 11." - Publishers Weekly

"A perfectly wonderful picture book about the spirit of anarchism and its utterly fitting dovetail with the joy of childhood. The book is full of excellent advice, wonderfully illustrated." - Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing

"We understand that it's going to be annoying if your kid takes the book to heart and starts scribbling on your plasma screen, but we feel as if any lessons learned about seeing yourself as a bold, bright individual are probably worth the risk. Though some might try to make it otherwise, we would like to think that's a message that transcends politics." - New York Daily News
