Phyllis’s Orange Shirt written by Phyllis Webstad

New in our Early Childhood Resource Library and Parent Library!

“When Phyllis was a little girl, she was exited to go to residential school for the first time. Her Granny bought her a shiny orange shirt that she loved and wore to school for her first day. When she arrived at the school, this shirt was taken away from her and never returned. This is both Phyllis Webstad’s true story and the story behind Orange Shirt Day, which is a day for all Canadian’s to reflect upon the treatment of First Nations peoples and the message that Every Child Matters.”
