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 \u003ci\u003eTo Teach: The Journey in Comics and Fugitive Days\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimply celebrating childhood: the joy, the wonder of discovery, the spontaneity, and strong emotions. . . .

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.
