Book Synopsis: The true story of Phyllis Webstad and her orange shirt that started the "Orange Shirt Day - Every Child Matters" movement. When Phyllis Webstad (nee Jack) turned six, she went to 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 from her and never returned.
