Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson

He has many adventures looking for his room, and in the end he draws his own house and bed and goes to sleep. He has nowhere to walk, so he draws a path. Harold wants to go for a walk in the moonlight, but there is no moon, so he draws one. The protagonist, Harold, is a curious four-year-old boy who, with his purple crayon, has the power to create a world of his own simply by drawing it. It led to a series of other books, and inspired many adaptations.
