Phyllis Webstad's Orange Shirt Story

By Phyllis Webstad

Second edition of The Orange Shirt Story (2018), with all new illustrations and revised text

When Phyllis Webstad (nee Jack) turned six, she was so excited to go to school for the first time. She proudly wore the shiny orange shirt that her Granny had bought for her, but when she got to the residential school, her new shirt was taken away from her and never returned.

This is the true story that inspired Orange Shirt Day and the Every Child Matters movement, retold with all new illustrations.
