I remember this one from my childhood. After we finished reading it my 3.5-year-old (AppleBlossom) went on to tell me how she was going to capture the colors of the sunset on paper. (2013)This morning (2020) while reading Benjamin West and His Cat Grimalkin, we finished reading the A-Leafing chapter where Benjamin paints with his Native friends. It was perfect timing to pull out these folklore Indians of North America books. Bittersweet to remember the recently deceased Tomie dePaola as we talked about the Indian Paintbrush and Texas Bluebonnet. We finished it up with a similar but newer tale of strawberries.My copy is from the Imagination Library.
