What
Is The Purple Crayon? |
|
I am a children's book editor, and I created this site so I could
post articles and other materials about children's book publishing.
Over the years, the site has grown and now includes articles contributed
by other people, covering writing, illustrating, marketing, and
editing.

My first name's Harold, and I have always loved the Harold and
the Purple Crayon books by Crockett Johnson. So the name and
design of this site are an allusion and a tribute to them.

"[Harold] left his yard, taking his purple
crayon and the moon along. To get very far he was going to need a lot of words.
B is for Books. He could find plenty of words in a pile of big books. He was
ready for anything." -- Crockett Johnson, Harold's
ABC.
This is a personal site, created and maintained
by Harold D. Underdown, with help from many
others. Last update: July 16, 2008.
