Judith M. Doucette (Judy Falle) is a proud member of the Qalipu Mi’kmaw First Nation Band. She was born and raised in St. George’s, Newfoundland, where she still lives and works with the Qalipu First Nation Band. Judith published her first book, Amanda’s Baking Lesson, in 1986 and has since been busy working and enjoying her family: Ralph, Tiffany, Travis, and granddaughter Aria. Judith’s second book, Poppa and His Drum, was published by Pennywell Books in 2023 and is the first in a planned series of Indigenous children’s books. The series of Poppa books is more than a collection of bedtime stories for children. Each book is a valuable educational tool, wherein children and adults alike can learn about the almost-forgotten customs and traditions of the Mi’kmaw People in Canada. Judith’s hope is to see a revitalization in the pride of being Indigenous and to inspire people to learn more and seek ways of reuniting with and celebrating our Indigenous culture.
