If it delighted you when the butterflies fluttered off the pavement and the chalk T-Rex gave chase until the kids sketched rain to wash it away, you’ll love how Harold’s purple crayon turns doodles into reality. In Harold and the Purple Crayon, a sleepy boy draws a moon to light his way, creates a dragon to guard an apple tree, sails a hand-drawn boat, and finally sketches his own window and bed to return home—capturing that same playful, make-it-real magic you enjoyed in Chalk.

Like Chalk’s purely visual storytelling—kids discovering a bag of chalk, the sudden emergence of butterflies, and that clever rain rescue—Flotsam tells its tale with images alone. A boy finds an underwater camera on the beach and develops a roll that reveals impossible ocean scenes—mechanical fish, octopi reading in a living room, and a chain of children who found the camera before him—inviting you to read the pictures as closely as you did each panel in Chalk.

If the moment in Chalk when a simple sketch transforms the world thrilled you—the butterflies taking flight and the drawn rain saving the day—Journey amplifies that discovery. A girl with a red marker draws a door from her room into a lantern-lit forest, then sketches a boat, a hot-air balloon, and even a rescue plan to free a captive bird from turreted towers, delivering that same escalating sense of awe with every new line.

As with Chalk—where no text explains the bag of chalk, the bursting butterflies, or the rainy solution—The Red Book trusts you to connect the visual clues. A girl finds a mysterious book whose pictures show a boy on a distant island looking back at her; she gathers balloons and floats skyward, and the book changes hands in a perfect, wordless loop that lets you fill in the world between the frames.

If you loved how Chalk keeps the action intimate—just a few kids at a playground, a quick burst of magic, and a clever fix—Wave offers that same small, vivid slice of life. A girl teases and dances with the ocean’s edge, gets splashed, and discovers seashell treasures, all in expressive, wordless frames that capture the same tight focus and emotional beat-by-beat storytelling.
