About this book

A purple crayon lets Harold draw the surroundings for an evening walk. As his lines become woods, an ocean and other imagined encounters, they also create difficulties he must think his way through. Crockett Johnson's picture book centers on a child whose drawings continually change the course of his adventure.

About the author

Crockett Johnson

Crockett Johnson created spare, expressive pictures in which a simple line could open an entire imagined world. Harold and the Purple Crayon follows a small boy who draws the path, moon, landscape, and adventures he needs as he walks, making the act of illustration part of the story itself.
