The spirit of Ono is captured in lovely words and images in the pages of Can You Imagine?: The Art and Life of Yoko Ono by Lisa Tolin and illustrated by Yas Imamura. Though currently available, I had the opportunity to read it via an online reader copy. And though I might not get a finished copy for myself, I do highly recommend getting a copy for yourself, your child and local library or libraries. This is not just a book about Yoko Ono. It is not just a book about an interesting (but arguably debatable) artist. It is not just a book about an Asian woman. It is all of that and much more.
From Ono’s privileged, war-torn upbringing (both in the states and Japan) she changes as the world does. Her love of art (and later a famous performer) would put her on the map. Her experiences shaped her art pieces, her performance art and even her honeymoon “bed in” with husband John Lennon. Tolin shows us how peace and acceptance formed and formatted Ono. And not just her work and the love and criticism of it is shown, but we do get some of her physical life as well. There are extras that will continue the facts allowing the book to grow with the child and be adapted for the adult reader. There are photographs of the players and commentary by Lennon and Ono. 
The illustrations give off both a fantastical and romantic feeling, capturing probably the essence of Ono and her work, but are not necessarily abstract. They are a supporting character in the overall picture of things, but also stand on their own. What really grabbed my attention were the blues that were used. But all imagery is there to invoke feeling in the reader.
