Lennon, John

Imagine

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jean Jullien. Foreword by Yoko Ono Lennon. As a pigeon travels the world--by subway, boat, and sky--it distributes leafy olive branches that have a salvific effect on fellow birds. The pigeon--a bluntly rendered gray figure set against bold colors--is an inspired stand-in for the "dreamer" in Lennon's iconic anthem, which harbors the kid-friendly message that achieving peace starts with setting one's mind to it.
