A rule is to break

Originally self-published, `A Rule is to Break’ was released late last month by small San Francisco publisher Manic D Press. Written and illustrated by husband-and-wife team John Seven and Jana Christy, it follows the story of Wild Child “as she learns about just being herself and how that translates into kid autonomy”. Advice includes “don’t look like everybody else! Be you”, and “Paint pictures on your TV! Forget about grocery stores and get dirty in your garden!”
