Purchase options and add-ons

Phyllis's Orange Shirt is an adaptaion of The Orange Shirt Story which was the best selling children's book in Canada for several weeks in September 2018(Book manager). This true story also inspired the movement of Orange Shirt Day which could become a federal statuatory holiday.
When Phyllis was a little girl she was excited to go to residential school for the first time. Her Granny bought her a bright orange shirt that she loved and she wore it to school for her first day. When she arrived at school her bright orange shirt was taken away. This is both Phyllis Webstad's true story and the story behind Orange Shirt Day which is a day for us all to reflect upon the treatment of First Nations people and the message that 'Every Child Matters'. Adapted for ages 4-6.

Book Description

A story to remind us that ‘Every Child Matters’.

About the Author

Phyllis Webstad (nee Jack) is Northern Secwepemc (Shuswap) from the Stswecem'c Xgat'tem First Nation (Canoe Creek Indian Band). She comes from mixed Secwepemc and Irish/French heritage. She was born in Dog Creek and lives in Williams Lake, BC, Canada. In 2018 Phyllis Webstad launched her children's book called "The Orange Shirt Story" to share her story in her own words. The Orange shirt story tells the story of young Phyllis having her orange shirt taken away on her first day of residential school and never to see it again. A simple orange shirt has become a conversation starter for all aspects of residential school across Canada and beyond. Phyllis has inspired thousands and thousands of people to honour residential school survivors and their families and share the call on September 30thof each year that "EVERY CHILD MATTERS." Phyllis is well respected for her work, her courage and for striving to heal our communities and Nation through speaking her truth.

This is an important story & so is sharing it with our young children
I ordered this book for our family to learn more about Orange Shirt Day. We participated last year too, but I was more focused on finding an orange shirt than I was about why it was being worn. This is an important story and I appreciate the author creating a version for younger children. I read it to my 2 1/2 year old at bedtime and she immediately wanted to read it again. The simplicity of the story with the illustrations allowed her to tell the story on her own.

    My daughter experienced Orange shirt day for the very first time this year. Ever since then she has been quite interested in the First Nation’s culture, asking me so many questions that I have no answers to. This book helped me a-lot, she read it and now understands the story behind ‘every child matters’ ‘orange shirt day’, especially what a residential school is.

    I am the Truth and Reconciliation Ambassador working at a College in Ontario Canada so I purchased the book so that it could be read publicly during our events. I loved it so much, I ended up buying a second copy to keep at home, giving my first copy to a fellow indigenous mother. There isn't enough out there about the residential schools so I am so happy to see it being talked about more, because we will never be forgotten

    I bought this book to help explain truth and reconciliation day to my young kids (3-5) and the importance of/meaning behind wearing orange. I think it was a really impactful book for young readers and a great way to help them understand.

    I loved that the story has a rhyming scheme and the illustrations are beautiful! I read the story to two of my grandkids (ages 5 &6) so far and had the opportunity to explain some of the concepts. They found it difficult to imagine going to school in the fall and not going home again until summer. When they are older I will be able to explain more of the ongoing repercussions of this horrible part of Canadian history.
