The Legend of The Bluebonnet by Tomie DePaola
The story is about a young Native American girl whose parents and grandparents have passed away. Her people are suffering from drought and famine, so they decide to do a sacrifice to get rain. None of the people actually sacrifice their most prized possessions though. The girl ends up sacrificing her precious doll with blue feathers in its hair. The people finally see rain thanks to this young girl and the rain produces Bluebonnets like the blue of the feathers in her doll's hair.
