Today, I learned that Indian Paintbrush is a wildflower on the hills in Wyoming. This is a legend/myth on how those flowers came to be there (and I do love a story or folktale about that.)

There was an Indian who wanted to be a warrior like everyone else, but he had the gift of an artist. During his manhood ritual he was giving the task of painting the warriors hunt and the villages stories so they would always be remembered. So, he stayed true to his task. He was also told he would paint the colors of the sky and this would be his most important work. He found the canvas and spent years looking for the right colors After a dream, he does find the colors he needs to paint the sky.

The artwork is beautiful. It's much better than Tomie usually does for his people. This is also part of a series called Legends about the legend of how some things come to be this is the 3rd book I have read in that series. I want to find the rest.

The story moved along, but there were good details. It's a great book. Nephew thought it was pretty okay. He said it wasn't too boring, were his actual words. He liked the sky. He gave it 3 stars. He told me it's not Star Wars or Harry Potter though.
