Harold and the Purple Crayon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harold and the Purple Crayon is a 1955 children's book by Crockett Johnson. Johnson's most popular book, it inspired a series.
The book is centered around Harold, a curious four-year-old who, with his purple crayon, has the power to create a world of his own by simply drawing it. He has many adventures looking for his room, but in the end he draws his own house and bed and goes to sleep.
It was later adapted into an Emmy Award-winning HBO television show and a 2002 short film.
