Review quotes

"Every Child Matters speaks to all Indigenous Peoples — past and present — whose lives have been impacted by the residential school system. Phyllis and Karlene beautifully honour the unity, strength and resolve shared by Survivors, their families and their communities. Residential schools took our children and tried to break their vibrant spirits. With this book, the children of today can learn the truths of this history and how they can play a part in making sure every child matters." -Stephanie Scott, Director of the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation
