dePaola, T. (1983). The legend of the bluebonnet. NY: Putnam.

The book is captivated by the depiction of the intricate lines that were created by the  illustrations.  The lines vividly represents the moods being shared among the characters of the story.  Virtually every page depicted these lines: the dress wear, teepees, the doll, the family of She-Who-Is-Alone, the fire, etc. This elaboration created a feeling of serenity and compassion for a young girl and those of her people. In desperate need for water to save the land and people, She-Who-Is-Alone offers her precious and significant doll to save her people.  The Legend of the Bluebonnet is an absolute inspiring book.
