    About The Legend of the Bluebonnet

    When a killing drought threatens the existence of the tribe, a courageous little Comanche girl sacrifices her most beloved possession–and the Great Spirit’s answer results not only in much needed rain but a very special gift in return.

    “An ideal complement to Native American and Texas studies…”Booklist

    About The Legend of the Bluebonnet

    Thick clusters of vivid blue flowers, which resemble old-fashioned sunbonnets, cover the Texas hills in the springtime every year. These lovely wild flowers, known by the name of bluebonnet, are the state flower of Texas.

    This favorite legend based on Comanche Indian lore, tells the story of how the bluebonnet came to be. Tomie dePaola‘s powerful retelling and his magnificent full-color paintings perfectly capture the Comanche People, the Texas hills, and the spirit of She-Who-Is-Alone, a little girl who made a sacrifice to save her tribe.
