On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Lisa Tolin about her newest picture book: Can You Imagine? The Life & Art of Yoko Ono.

This biography explores the art, music and creativity of Yoko Ono’s extraordinary life with breathtaking beauty and illustrations. 

Come listen as we talk about Lisa’s real-life connection to Yoko Ono that sparked the idea for this book, the themes of collective imagination and activism present on the pages and her hope for the book in reminding kids they have the power to make a better future.
