Listen to the beating drumIt tells a hundred storiesOf our people, of our homelandSome of birds and beasts and sweet grass.Close your eyes and listenYou might come to hear a storyThat no one hears but you aloneA story of your very own.Renowned Cree painter Allen Sapp's inspired and stunning artwork beautifully complements this sweet story of a young First Nations boy preparing for his first powwow. The young boy's Nokum his beloved grandmother guides him through the exciting day and watches over him as events unfold. David Bouchard's rhythmic and informative text is based on remembrances from Allen Sapp's childhood.Winner of Canada's Governor General's Literary Award, The Song Within My Heart is a beautifully crafted picture book that reflects the wonders of life on a reserve, the importance of the powwow, and ultimately, the love between grandmother and grandson."Sapp's illustrations, rendered in thickly textured oil paint, emphasize the bond and love that the boy feels for his grandmother... A strong offering about powwows, familial love, and finding understanding from within. School Library Journal"A heartfelt intergenerational story about knowing and preserving heritage and love between elders and young ones... Bouchard's rhythmic text successfully conveys an emotive and sensory approach to the relationship between the two, enriching the story and echoing the handlettered onomatopoeic syllables that represent chanting and drumbeats. Sapp's profound paintings bring sincere and reassuring images that support and enhance the tale. A stunning picture book that celebrates life, family relations, and determination to preserve traditions and heritage." Kirkus (starred review)
