The Legend of the Bluebonnet by Tomie DePaola


DePaola, T. (1983). The legend of the bluebonnet. New York: Penguin Putnam Books for Young Readers.

In this tale about a young Comanche girl who sacrifices her most-loved possession out of sacrifice for her people, DePaola formulates an explanation for the state flower of Texas, the bluebonnet.  DePaola is intentionally true to the Comanche people in a story that is timeless and appropriate for a wide range of readers.
