So honored by this piece in Forbes on Can You Imagine? @yasimamura.bsky.social #yokoono #picturebook “Imamura’s dreamy, ethereal imagery amplifies Tolin’s triumphant text – infused with feminism and passion for art, love, and peace – and underscores Ono’s enduring impact on the global art world.”

Hooray! My copy of CAN YOU IMAGINE? The Art and Life of Yoko Ono arrived! This gorgeous picture book was written by my talented critique partner @lisatolin.bsky.social and illustrated by @yasimamura.bsky.social Highly recommended! @simonkids.bsky.social

She’s not on Bluesky (yet), but my friend Yas illustrated a picture book biography of Yoko Ono that just came out.
