Harold uses his purple crayon to draw himself an adventure: underneath the moon, past an apple tree and a fierce dragon, up mountains, in a hot air balloon, and finally to bed.

It is very simplistic and quite short, but it shows the true imagination of a small child. I think it has the power to be inspirational to young artists and can help children build creativity.
