dePaola, T. (1983). The legend of the bluebonnet. NY: Putnam.
A Comanche girl named She-Who-Is-Alone is an orphan girl and her people are dying because of a drought. One night she decides to give her most precious belonging, a doll made by her mother, to the Great Spirits. Her generosity ends the famine and gives Texas the beautiful state flower called the bluebonnet.
Tomie dePaola shows wonderful composition in the
classic story The Legend of The Bluebonnet. Line is shown through the use of the hills,
land, and horizon. The color of the
story is exquisite as it shows sunset, the colors of Native American Comanche
people, and the bluebonnet. Texture is
shown through the clothes, doll, and countryside. Shape is illustrated through the triangular
tipis.
