Harold and the Purple Crayon

Harold and the Purple Crayon is an animated children’s TV series developed by HBO based on Crockett Johnson’s classic children’s book of the same title, which centers on Harold, a highly imaginative and curious four-year-old, and his purple crayon as his imagination leads him into a world of creativity and invention. Each episode works with the themes that affect a four-year-old Harold and any other preschooler, working through their fears, developing their curiosity, and independence, while helping teach the young viewers that trial and error is one of the best ways to ever learn how to grow. Harold’s purple crayon is also an important part of his learning process as he uses it to create another world – when he thinks something is missing, he simply draws it into existence. Actress Sharon Stone narrates this beautiful series that shows how the imagination is a wonderful thing. MORE
