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. |
