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.
