Harold and the Purple Crayon
- Harold and the Purple Crayon
"Harold and the Purple Crayon" is a 1955 children's book by Crockett Johnson. Johnson's most popular book, it inspired a series.
The protagonist, Harold, is a curious four-year-old boy who, with his purple crayon, has the power to create a world of his own simply by drawing it.
Harold wants to go for a walk in the moonlight, but there is no moon, so he draws one. He has nowhere to walk, so he draws a path. He has many adventures looking for his room, but, in the end, he draws his own house and bed and goes to sleep.
The story was later adapted into an Emmy Award-winning HBO television show and a 2002 short film. The television show can still be found on HBO On Demand and is a jaunt into the imagination of a little boy who just cannot seem to fall asleep. The program is especially intended for pre-school aged children.
