About This Book
Retold by Tomie dePaola, this Native American legend from the Plains peoples tells the story of a boy called Little Gopher who feels different because he'd rather paint than hunt or wrestle. Guided by a dream vision, he uses his artistic gift to capture the colors of the sunset, and his paintings become the wildflowers known as Indian Paintbrush.
Why We Love This
A beautiful legend that celebrates artistic gifts and staying true to yourself - the sunset paintings are breathtaking and inspire wonderful conversations about creativity.
