Just received this wonderful book that was recently released. Though advertised as a children’s book title on Amazon, I would firmly disagree with that categorization. It is a direct message to all of us highlighting the insanity of war. The storyline was conceived and implemented by the team of Brad Booker, Dave Mullins, and Sean Lennon, along with the fabulous illustrator of the book, Max Narciso!
This team was inspired by the John Lennon and Yoko Ono holiday classic of Happy Xmas (War is Over). They put together a short film inspired by the song which has now turned a beautiful film and a timely message to the world. This short film was recognized for its excellence by winning a well-deserved Academy Award!!!
I ordered a signed edition of the War is Over book and I certainly did not expect my copy to be inscribed by Sean. I met Sean once at a musical performance he gave at a club in Massachusetts called The Iron Horse. There, I gave him a copy of his grandfather Freddie Lennon’s very rare recording entitled That’s My Life; That’s My Love and My Home sung in the Dutch language. It is virtually impossible to find a vinyl copy of that version of the song with a sleeve, but the internet solved that problem for me. Sean seemed to be very pleased and thanked me for the recording. He should be very proud of himself for both the Academy Award winning film and this wonderful book with a universal message of peace for all of us...
SIGNED SEALED AND DELIVERED
Thanks for inscribing the book, Sean. That was very kind of you!
The site where I purchased the signed book now says it is out of stock. I do not know if that means it is completely sold out or whether there will be more signed copies available at a later date:

Hi Buzz,
Thank you for your latest, very interesting mention of the new Sean Lennon-involved book.
I particularly noticed your lovely comments at the end, about hoping that we all have a happy and healthy life, and find peace of mind. These are sentiments that I am sure the late, great John Lennon himself (and also Sean!) would endorse!
Thank you for this great service you give us all with your Beatle book info, John!
Kind regards,
Martin Orkin
Thank you for the kind word words but all I was doing was echoing the sentiments of the song and the book!
