About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like their ideas are 'too weird' or when they need encouragement to see the world through a lens of peace and possibility. It is an ideal choice for nurturing the 'conceptual thinker' who expresses themselves in unconventional ways. This biography follows Yoko Ono from her childhood in Japan to her life as a world-renowned conceptual artist and activist. It gently explores themes of resilience during wartime and the power of imagination to transform hardship into hope. For children aged 4 to 7, it serves as a beautiful introduction to the idea that art isn't just about drawing a pretty picture; it is about sharing a dream for a better world.
