A magician introduced me to this book. He was drawing pictures with a magic purple crayon and they appeared to come alive. When he recommended this book (and my husband said it used to be a favorite), I had to check it out. I'm happy to say I wasn't disappointed.Inspired by the moonshine in his bedroom window, a little boy (who can't sleep) decides to take a walk. With his purple crayon and a little imagination, he defeats a dragon, climbs a mountain, traverses an ocean and ultimately makes his way back to the city. But to his dismay, all the buildings and windows look the same. Luckily, he remembers that his window always had a view of the moon. When he finds the moon, he knows he is home. He "draws" up the covers and falls fast asleep. So next time you tuck your child into bed, make sure he can feel the moonlight on his face. You never know where it might take him.
