Description

Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope some day you'll join us, and the world will be as one. Join one little pigeon as she sets out on a journey to spread a message of tolerance around the world. Featuring the lyrics of John Lennon's iconic song and illustrations by the award-winning artist Jean Jullien, this poignant and timely picture book dares to imagine a world at peace. Imagine will be published in partnership with human rights organisation Amnesty International. 'Never have we all, child and grown-up child, needed this more, the words and the song in our hearts, lifting our spirits, giving us hope, and determination too to find the road to understanding, conciliation and peace.' - Michael Morpurgo

Reviews

Children's Book of the Week: 'lovely to read to your child during these troubled times.' * The Sun * '[the] message is as relevant to society today as it was when it was released' * Design Boom * 'A lovely picture book' * Angels & Urchins * "effective and very poignant" * The Bookseller * 'The artist's boldly outlined images...have a simple, heartfelt poignancy that make this beautiful book the perfect starting point for introducing Lennon's message of tolerance, understanding, inclusiveness, unity and peace to today's children. It's certainly as relevant as when it was written over 45 years ago: indeed, we desperately need it now even more than ever.' * Red Reading Hub * "An inviting, relevant, and timely message of tolerance, inclusiveness, unity, and peace. Just imagine." * Kirkus Reviews * "For fans of Lennon's song eager to introduce it to a new generation, Jullien's panoply of boldly outlined, lovable birds offers an accessible entry point to ideas of peace, kindness, and justice." * Publisher's Weekly *
