Imagine all the people living life in peace.

Imagine will be published in partnership with human rights organization, Amnesty International.
My View:
5 big stars for this beautifully imagined and illustrated book – this really is art with heart! Call me sentimental, I will agree with you that I am, this book just strikes so many chords with me. 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.
Buy this for someone you love – young or old.
What a lovely concept for a book, Carol. An important and valuable message, beautiful illustrations, and nice packaging, too. What’s not to want?
It’s a keeper Margot- a beautiful keeper
