När hon kommer till en å och behöver en båt är det bara att rita en båt och när hon behöver ta sig upp i luften är det bara att rita en luftballong. Allt hon behöver kan hon ordna med hjälp av sin krita. Och snart tar den alldeles vanliga flickan sig längre och längre in i en ovanlig värld där allt kan hända!Resan är en ordlös berättelse, där varje bild säger mer än tusen ord.

När ens pappa bara jobbar hela tiden och är omöjlig att få kontakt med finns det bara en sak att göra ... Än en gång tar den lilla flickan hjälp av sin magiska röda krita och ritar en dörr, och för tredje gången öppnas den förtrollande värld fylld av slott och kungar, där hon har sina vänner. Men ganska snart efter flickans återkomst står det klart att onda krafter vill beröva den magiska världen på alla dess färger. Nu inleds med hjälp av magiska kritor en kamp för att rädda den färgrika fantasin.
