Harold and the Purple Crayon

Book • 1955
In this classic children's book, Harold, a curious four-year-old boy, decides to go for a walk in the moonlight.

With his magic purple crayon, he draws a moon, a path, and various landscapes to navigate through his adventure.

Harold encounters a dragon, sails across waters, enjoys a picnic of nine flavors of pies, and even flies in a hot-air balloon.

Eventually, tired and seeking his bedroom window, Harold draws his way back home and to bed.

The book celebrates the power of imagination and creativity.
