When Harold decides to take a walk one night he realizes he needs a moon, so he draws one! And because he’s made his own moon, it stays with him and lights his path the entire way. He draws a forest where he thinks a forest ought to be; he creates a ship and a sea to sail on. Whatever Harold wants to experience, he draws and composes all the accessories and delights he thinks a proper adventure should have, navigating his new world of course with his big PURPLE crayon. In this way, Harold becomes somewhat of an ambassador for the inventiveness all children possess. This story is not only adorable and fun to watch, but more importantly it speaks to the power of imagination found especially in children and their distinct ability to create a world based on their unique outlook. His adventure is limitless and his crayon becomes the compass of his creativity.
