Illustrated by
Peter H. Reynolds.
The lyrics to Stevens's iconic 1970s pop song are brought to Technicolor life in Reynolds's illustrations, which, as the media note says, were created using "love, peace, imagination, inspiration, and harmony..." A young barefoot musician joins a diverse group of travelers to "glide on the Peace Train." They make it through "the edge of darkness," arriving triumphantly to a cheering rainbow-colored crowd. Peace signs, flowers, hearts, groovy color combinations, and retro designs accompany the text, which, though not picture-book perfect, gets across a message of hope and fellowship. A note from Stevens concludes this joy-filled journey.
