Texas
By Lori @

You could use Tomie de Paola's The Legend of the Bluebonnet since that is the state flower of Texas.

I have several versions of fairy tales that have been redone with a southwest setting -- Little Red Cowboy Hat, The Three Little Javelinas, The Bootmaker and the Elves are a few.

Voices of the Alamo by Sherry Garland might be too much for them, but then again if they have grown up hearing about the Alamo, maybe not. It is told in short vignettes as the years pass at the mission. John Jakes also wrote a picture book about the Alamo called Susanna of the Alamo. It is pretty long though for a picture book.

Good luck,
Lori
