The Heartbeat Drum

The Story of Carol Powder, Cree Drummer and Activist (A Picture Book)

By: Deidre Havrelock

Author Deidre Havrelock’s and illustrator Aphelandra’s The Heartbeat Drum is an uplifting picture book biography of a Cree activist and musician who founded an Indigenous hand drumming group, led by women and children, that spreads joy, healing, and unity nisôhkisinân (We are strong) . . . ninikamonân (We are singing) . . . mîna nika-âhkamêyimonân (And we will continue) . . . Whenever young Carol Powder sang along to her family’s music, her heart felt light and full of joy. Learning from her grandfather, Moshum, Carol listened closely to the drums’ heartbeat until one day Moshum made her a drum of her very own. As Carol grew up, she passed down her songs to her children, grandchildren, and many women in her community, just as Moshum taught her—even as women and children became increasingly excluded from sitting at the drum. Despite those who disapproved, she formed her own drumming group called Chubby Cree. Today, Carol and her group share their music to advocate at climate events, to honor residential school survivors at special ceremonies, and to spread healing for anyone who needs it. Empowering and joyfully illustrated, The Heartbeat Drum is a radiant celebration of preserving Indigenous traditions, finding your voice, and speaking out. Includes both an author’s note and illustrator’s note, as well as a personal note from Carol Powder herself.

Why We Dance

A Story of Hope and Healing

By: Deidre Havrelock

From an Indigenous creative team comes a powerful and exuberant story about the heritage, joy, and healing power of the Jingle Dress Dance It’s a special day—the day of the Jingle Dress Dance! Before the big powwow, there’s a lot to do: getting dressed, braiding hair, packing lunches, and practicing bounce-steps. But one young girl gets butterflies in her stomach thinking about performing in front of her whole community. When the drumbeats begin, though, her family soothes her nerves and reminds her why she dances. Emerging historically in response to the global influenza pandemic of 1918–19, the Jingle Dress Dance is a ceremonial dance of healing and prayer that still thrives today in many Indigenous and First Nations communities across North America. Lyrically written and lushly illustrated, Why We Dance is a joyous celebration of a proud Indigenous tradition that inspires hope, resilience, and unity.

Living ... the Testimony

By: Deidre D. Havrelock

GOLD MEDAL WINNER, GLOBAL EBOOK AWARDS We testify in accordance with what we know and have experienced. ...It's time to learn and experience more The first book in this thought-provoking series explained how testimony relates to the Bible; this book will help you understand how testimony relates to living. "Living...The Testimony" will not only encourage Christians to reflect on who they believe Jesus to be (and why they choose to believe this), but it will also correct current misconstrued ideas as to what the Christian testimony is all about. - a testimony is not about church; - a testimony is not about God; - a testimony is not about faith in general terms; - this book contains numerous testimonies that will strengthen your faith in Jesus. A strong Christian testimony is one that continually grows in the knowledge of Jesus, continually shares that knowledge boldly, while at the same time performs good works based on Jesus' teaching of love-all while abstaining from works of darkness. Because a biblical testimony deals not only with our belief system, but also with the way we conduct our whole lives, our Christian testimony becomes our most valuable asset. It is life itself. ARE YOU LIVING THE TESTIMONY? - This book includes an appendix on the Sabbath Rest. Do we currently understand God's holy time of rest? The answer will astound you...and set you free to be more like Jesus. - This book includes Deidre Havrelock's personal testimony regarding her demonic possession and her amazing deliverance.

Preparing ... the Testimony

By: Deidre D. Havrelock

This companion guide is not your typical Bible study. It is not a simple guide meant to help you prepare a story about how you came to believe in Christ. This book goes further. It will help you discover, examine, understand, and value your own personal faith. As well, the chapter by chapter overview and discussion questions will help readers focus on key aspects of both Studying...The Testimony and Living...The Testimony, so that the material can be thoroughly understood and discussed. Whatever state of growth your faith is currently in be encouraged, because it is your faith ... it is invaluable, precious, and it has the ability to destroy the enemy.
