Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Juxtaposition of two images of Harold (of Harold and the Purple Crayon): as he appeared on the cover of the original 1955 version (left, with a skin tone that is racially ambiguous) and as he appeared on the cover of the 1998 reissue (right, with a skin tone that is unambiguously Caucasian).

Source (WP:NFCC#4)	https://theconversation.com/his-crayon-is-purple-but-is-harold-a-black-boy-236749 (tightly cropped)
Date of publication	original: 1955; modified: 1998
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Harold and the Purple Crayon
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	To support encyclopedic discussion of this work in this article. The illustration is specifically needed to support the following point(s): when reprinting Harold and the Purple Crayon in 1998, Harper-Collins modified the cover art - by altering the font used, by changing the color of Harold's clothing from white to blue, and by changing Harold's skin tone in a way which made him unambigously Caucasian.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	Any derivative work based upon the artwork would be a copyright violation, so creation of a free image is not possible.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	This image will only be used in the article on Harold and the Purple Crayon, to provide a comparison between the color used for Harold's skin tone in the first edition, and in the 1998 re-issue.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The use of a low resolution image of the artwork will not impact the commercial viability of the art.
