Legend of the Bluebonnet

By: Tomie dePaola

"A solemn, simply-told tale...The concept of an unselfish parting with a prized possesion is one to which children will readily relate." -School Library Journal

"The simplicity and beauty of the story echoes in dePaola's effectively composed illustrations...An ideal complement to native American and Texas studies." -Booklist

"A valuable story in which a child opts to give something up for the greater good and finds reward in something other than a material object." -Parenting Magazine
