Literary Lunch

October 20th is the birthday of Crockett Johnson, author of Harold and The Purple Crayon. In this beloved classic, Harold's imagination takes him on a big adventure but also safely back home. We're celebrating with a Harold and the Purple Crayon lunch!


Nina from Mamabelly's Lunches with Love packed a lunch for all kids with big imaginations:
  • a mini cereal bar and a second fruit-filled cereal bar cut into pie shapes since Harold draws himself nine kinds of pie when he gets hungry,
  • purple grapes and purple crayons,
  • and a purple grape jelly sandwich decorated with a purple gel drawing of Harold sailing and the the moon sailing along with him.
Here's to Crockett Johnson!
