"PURPLE touches
the heart of everyone I read it to,
and it has become a part of my lectures.
Purple speaks the essential message to all of us
because we are all children dealing with authority figures."

Purple: a parable
by Alexis Rotella
illustrated by Diane Katzillust
“Once a woman,
not knowing why,
chased a crinkled piece of paper
blowing across an empty parking lot
and while she waited for her bus
she read the poem
and cried.”
That poem is “Purple”—which
was once a postcard “chain-letter” that traveled around
the world, and is now an illustrated book rich in color and meaning.
This powerful parable touches each person’s creative truth, which
can survive even in the face of childhood cruelty. Page by page, Diane
Katz's illustrations take the reader ever deeper into the inner child's
profound experience.
Included in church sermons, educational texts and Bernie
Siegel MD's Love, Magic & Mudpies,
this story has lasting emotional impact.

"Overcoming what an authority
figure tells a kid when they are vulnerable…
Those adults
are basically hypnotists and can alter the course of a person's life.
I thought I had no creativity in my bones for years, that everyone else
was creative
but not me. Then I wrote PURPLE." —Alexis
Rotella, author of Purple: a parable,
is a poet, ordained minister, acupuncturist, and the author
of more than forty books.

*
from the Author's Note:
"The creamy-bright beeswax chunks I used to make the illustrations
for Apples Dipped in Honey are a far cry from the skinny crayons
I broke to bits
as a child. I employ a high-energy
technique that is a cross between
printing, drawing and monument rubbing. After carefully carving
the image in a linoleum block, I can express my passions through
the energetic rubbing of vibrant color. My intent was to invite
all the senses to experience of Jewish world: honey-coated
fingers, Grandma's hug, the clangor of noisemakers, the peal of
the shofar, flickering holiday candles.…" |
