Lennon, John Imagine, illustrated by Jean Jullien. PICTURE
BOOK. Clarion Books, 2017. $18.99 978-1328808653
A picture book rendering of the classic Beatles song,
"Imagine," this story follows a peace-loving pigeon/dove who is
carrying olive branches to friends around the land. The text is nothing more
than the lyrics to the song, and the illustrations are nothing extraordinary.
As such, I feel like the book falls pretty flat. The book is being published in
partnership with Amnesty International, so fans of John Lennon or those who
want to help Amnesty will be interested in this book. But I don't think young
readers will enjoy it at all. Yoko Ono Lennon wrote the foreword and Amnesty
International included a note at the end.
