This story follows Wilfred Smith during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and the difficult days that followed. Based on the real letter he wrote to his family, the book describes what he saw, where he went, and how people worked together to survive and help one another after the disaster.
This true story introduces young listeners to an important moment in California history through the experiences of a real person who lived through it. Wilfred’s firsthand account helps children connect historical events to the lives of ordinary people and encourages discussion about courage, community, and resilience.
Links to the original 1906 letter, historical background, classroom audio, and free teacher resources are available from a link provided within the book.
