The Legend of the Indian Paintbrush
AUTHOR: Tomie dePaola
From Sarah:
From Read-Aloud Revival's very favorite picture book author and illustrator comes a legend your kids won't soon forget, all about how the Indian Paintbrush flower got its name. This book is not to be missed!
From the Publisher:
Many years ago, when the People traveled the Plains, a young Indian boy had a Dream-Vision in which it was revealed that one day he would create a painting that was as pure as the colors of the evening sky at sunset. The boy grew up to become the painter of the tribe, but although he found a pure white buckskin for a canvas and made paints from the brightest flowers and the reddest berries, he could not capture the sunset. How the young Indian artist finally fulfills his Dream-Vision is lovingly told and illustrated by Tomie dePaola, in words and pictures that capture the spirit and beauty of this dramatic legend.
