It was only after Amelia Jean was born that I realized that Harold from Harold and the Purple Crayon has the head of a baby, not of a four year old boy, as the story suggests. He's even wearing the pajamas of an infant although I drew him in one of those sleep sacks that are popular now that infants aren't allowed to sleep on their stomachs. When watching Amelia stare at the world, I can't help thinking of Harold, imagining what world she is recreating in her mind.
