Can You Imagine?
Regular price
€18.50
A stunning picture book biography in lyrical, poignant prose about Yoko Ono—a brilliant musician and one of the creative minds behind the iconic song “Imagine” by John Lennon.
Yoko Ono has been called many things: Bold. Confrontational. Controversial. Artist. Musician. Witch.
But she has always been, first and foremost, Yoko: a girl who used her imagination to escape the horrors of World War II, and then a woman who used that same gift to find peace after an act of unfathomable violence.
This is a story of a singular soul: an artist, musician, and writer who has always innovated beyond the limits of the accepted, whose brilliance cannot be overshadowed, and whose imagination has been truly revolutionary.
