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 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.
