Description

In spring, the hills and meadows of Texas and Wyoming are ablaze with the reds, oranges, and yellows of the Indian Paintbrush. How this striking plant received its name is told in an old Indian legend.

Many years ago, when the Other folks traveled the Plains, a young Indian boy had a Dream-Vision through which it was once revealed that in the future he would create a painting that was once as pure as the colours of the evening sky at sunset. The boy grew as much as grow to be the painter of the tribe, but even though 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 in any case fulfills his Dream-Vision is lovingly told and illustrated by Tomie dePaola, in words and pictures that capture the spirit and wonderful thing about this dramatic legend.
