Set One: The Legend of the Bluebonnet

The Legend of the Bluebonnet

 DePaola, T. (1983). The legend of the bluebonnet. New York, NY: Penguin Putnam Books for Young Readers.  She-Who-Is-Alone is a small girl of Comanche descent who sacrifices her most prized possession, a small doll , to save her people from drought and famine. DePaola uses lines to create  mood and color to convey emotion and symbolism.  I would use this book in a lesson for cause and effect.

Here is the book trailer.
