How to Draw the World: Harold and the Purple Crayon and the Making of a Children's Classic - Children's Classics Critically
Nel, Philip (University Distinguished Professor of English, University Distinguished Professor of English, Kansas State University)
This is a biography of the book that inspired Prince to adopt purple as his signature color, Pulitzer-Prize-winning author Richard Powers to become a writer, and countless other creative people to become artists. Published 70 years ago, Crockett Johnson's Harold and the Purple Crayon is a small book about big ideas--ideas about childhood, creativity, politics, psychology, art, and reality itself. In thirty brief chapters, this book explores those ideas, illuminates the creative process, and offers a primer on how picture books work.
