A Buzzby StorybookDrumbeats at the Powwow

Ages 5 to 10 Kindergarten to 5th Grade 10 pages Read aloud

The first pages

Every summer, Sage's First Nations community holds a powwow, a gathering with dancing, singing and drumming. This year, Sage invited her friend Ruby to come.

Ruby gazed at the big circle on the grassy field. Families sat around it on lawn chairs, and the smell of fresh bannock filled the air.

What happens next? The rest of the story, every painted page and Buzzby's narration open with a free account.

Talk time questions

  • Why is the drum called a heartbeat?
  • What is the difference between regalia and a costume?
  • What is something special from your family that you could share with a friend?
