John Lennon's inner search for happiness shaped both his own life and the wider world of rock 'n' roll. Slogans coined by him are to be found throughout the pop-cultural lexicon, from ?give peace a chance? to ?war is over, if you want it.? Here, award-winning author and illustrator team Doreen Rappaport and Bryan Collier present his life through a combination of narrative and song lyrics, cut-paper collage and watercolour art, capturing the energy and the essence of a man who this generation of parents will want to share with their children.
