| | Synopsis
|
When Phyllis Webstad turned six, she went to the residential
school for the first time. On her first day at school, she wore a
shiny orange shirt that her Granny had bought for her, but when she
got to the school, it was taken away and never returned. This is the
true story of Phyllis and her orange shirt. It is also the story of
the Orange Shirt Day, an important day of remembrance for all
Canadians. This picture book is based on a true story about a young
First Nations girl -the author - who was sent to a Residential
School. "The Orange shirt story" brings a terrible part of Canada's
history to light, in a way that children can learn from and relate
to. Notes about the author, Orange Shirt Day, a story of the
Secwepemc People, and information about St. Joseph's Residential
School can be found at the end of the story.
