Harold and the Purple Crayon is a timeless celebration of imagination. Crockett Johnson's beloved picture book — first published in 1955 — follows a small boy who draws his own world into existence with a single purple crayon. Simple, clever, and endlessly inspiring, it is the book that reminds every reader that creativity has no limits.
