"Phyllis's Orange Shirt" by Phyllis Webstad. Illustrated by Brock Nicol.
An adaptation of Phyllis Webstad's book, "The Orange Shirt Story" for a younger audience (ages 4-6).
This is the true story of Phyllis Webstad and her very important orange shirt.
In Canada, September 30th is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It has also been known as Orange Shirt Day since 2013. All Canadians are encouraged to wear orange to honour the thousands of survivors of residential schools. We wear orange to honor the Residential School survivors like Phyllis. The orange shirt is a symbol of the stripping away of culture, freedom and self-esteem experienced by Indigenous children over generations. We honor their experiences, and the experiences of their families.
Orange Shirt Day is a commemorative day intended to raise awareness of the individual, family and community inter-generational impacts of residential schools, and to reaffirm that “Every Child Matters”.
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day is an opportunity for First Nations, local governments, schools and communities to all come together in the spirit of reconciliation, truth, and hope for future generations of children.
