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.

Nice to revisit this one again. And I still want my own magic purple crayon.

A classic. My wife's favorite children's book and one that I love for describing the power of imagination.

One of my favorite books. :) My grandpa's name was Harold, so this one holds a special place in my heart.
