This is one of my favorite John Lennon songs, when I hear this song I always get goosebumps.  It really is so powerful and important!  This book is a great addition to any collection.  As a parent I want my children to live in a world of love and peace.  It really means a lot to me to teach them tolerance and kindness.  I love the message within these pages.  A pigeon with an olive branch journeys to spread  peace and tolerance.  Share this with your children, we can all use a little more love.  Enjoy!!
