We've also put together this fun craft kit for making 'peace bunting' from the cute birds illustrated in the book.

A beautiful hardcover edition celebrates the 30th anniversary of Alison Lester's much-loved classic picture book. Yes, it is a lovely song and I truly like it, but it isn't realistic to think the world, especially the animal world, could live like this. The illustrated book Imagine follows one pigeon as she sets out on a journey to spread a message of hope and tolerance around the world. Yoko Ono Lennon is an artist whose thought-provoking work challenges people's understanding of art and the world around them.

A book for those who can remember John Lennon’s important song of love and peace (and for those who still sing his inspiring relevant message even if just in their own heads) and for the next generation – who will love the prose, the illustrations and the optimism.

I'm not really a great fan of picture-books whose text is simply a presentation of a famous song, as such titles often lack any coherent sense of story, or narrative.I used to walk by small "coffee table" or "waiting room" books like this one all the time but in many cases, such as this, they are like small treasures.

Ultimately that was Lennon's message on a whole, finding peace, loving others regardless of race, gender, colour, sexuality or creed.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. There is a wonderful simplicity to the artwork, as you're watching this pigeon explore the world around him, trying to unify people. A lot has been written about the creation of the song, the album and the film of Imagine, mainly by people who weren’t there, so I’m very pleased and grateful that now, for the first time, so many of the participants have kindly given their time to ‘gimme some truth’ in their own words and pictures.
