Every Child Matters book by Orange Shirt Day founder now available
Phyllis Webstad has written another children’s book on the residential school system. The latest book is titled Every Child Matters, a phrase tied inextricably with Orange Shirt Day, Sept. 30, and the movement Webstad founded to draw the country’s attention to the harms done to Indigenous children within the residential school system in Canada. The book was released on Aug. 8 and put out by Medicine Wheel Publishing. It’s for readers ages six and up. “No matter what colour of the medicine wheel you are, it’s for all children,” Webstad said.
