This legend is the story of how the flower, the indian paintbrush, came to be.The colors and illustrations in this book are also beautiful. I especially like the illustrations of the sunset.

It really built up the protagonists character and was insightful to his culture. I liked that it developed the character from being a young boy to a young man, developing him in life. It discusses the influence of his ancestors as they guided him to paint his dream paintings, thus leading him to create the most beautiful sunset. I thought this was a very beautiful story for this reason as it detailed a recurring belief. Little Gopher follows his destiny as revealed in a Dream-Vision of becoming an artist for his people and eventually is able to bring the colors of the sunset down to earth.
In this adaptation of the legend of the Indian Paintbrush flower… The story follows Little Gopher, a Native boy (no tribe indicated)… [whose] paint colors appear dull and dark. One night he hears a voice that tells him to go where he watches the evening sun, and on the ground he will find what he needs. There he is surrounded by brushes filled with paint, each one a color of the sunset. The brushes take root and are known today as Indian Paintbrush flowers. The illustrations do not reflect Plains material culture. The retelling is pleasantly cadenced, even though it tells us more about the artist's need for serf-expression within any society than about Plains Indians. And dePaola's somber tones burst forth into satisfyingly brilliant sunsets. This tale is related with deceptive simplicity by dePaola; he enhances the plainness of the story with his primitive illustrations, and, like Little Gopher, he finds inspiration in the colors of the sunset.
