About this deal

Like John's message in his song IMAGINE, this picture book is simple in it's words and illustrations, but powerful in it's message of peace, and unity.

A heartwarming story of a little girl and her grandmother using the power of imagination to overcome fears. Actually, I "read" the book a second time, just looking at the illustrations, and I think I liked the story and book more when I wasn't reading the text with it. Signed Imagine This book written by Julia Baird, details the story of growing up with her brother John Lennon. Déanann sé ceiliùradh ar an ngrá d'oileáin, idir fhíoroileáin agus oileáin shamhalta, atá ag an ùdar Patricia Forde, Gaillimheach a scríobhann leabhair do pháistí. The line "Imagine there's no heaven" may bother Christians but I'm okay with it, because I don't believe in hell either.Publishers Weekly, "Adults will enjoy this creative take on a beloved song, and the book can easily blend with lessons about cooperation and sharing--and even age-appropriate lessons on global conflicts.

Here you will find packs of books covering specific genres such as graphic novels, biographies and wordless picturebooks. The book, which will be published in 15 languages, is illustrated by renowned French artist Jean Jullien. Okay had to make that pun but in all seriousness, such a beautifully illustrated and educational book for young minds!

The words were written by my husband John and it makes me so happy to see them illustrated in this beautiful book. In one of Jullien’s beautiful illustrations, the pigeon is shown breaking up squabbles amongst other birds, who are fighting over religion. Lennon's marriage and collaboration with artist Yoko Ono inspired his iconic peace anthem "Imagine".

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. One of my favorite parts is how each animal is labeled with a number that's linked to a key at the end of the book! Here, the effect is rather contemplative though, and I did enjoy Jullien's artwork, done in brush and ink, and then completed digitally. Featuring the lyrics of John Lennon’s iconic song and illustrations by award-winning artist Jean Jullien, this poignant and timely book dares to imagine a world at peace. Elina’s work has been nominated for local and international awards, and she has received the Zelta Abele Award for Book Design four times, as well as the Janis Baltvilks Baltic Sea Region Award.Inspired by his actions, the other birds take up the pigeon’s cause while he rests – a beautiful illustration of one good deed inspiring another.
