Shaun speaks about what RULES OF SUMMER is about and where the ideas came from. Rulles of Summer is available from 8th October 2013. Visit https://www.rulesofsummer.com.au for more detail. RULES OF SUMMER, is a deceptively simple story about two boys, one older and one younger, and the kind of 'rules' that might govern any relationship between close friends or siblings. Rules that are often so strange or arbitrary, they seem impossible to understand from the outside. Yet through each exquisite illustration of this nearly wordless narrative, we can enjoy wandering around an emotional landscape that is oddly familiar to us all.
