When I was in 1st grade,the librarian told the class to pick out a book to read.I chose "The Legend of the Bluebonnets."What a wonderful story about family, selflessness,and of course,bluebonnets.Its been 29 years since I read this book,but I have never forgotten the story.I think about it at least once a week,(especially during bluebonnet season).I love this book! I can't wait to buy a few and pass them around to the kids in my family!I know when they grow up,they will want to save these books to read to thier children.
