San Sequoia - 1906 (Patreon)

The new world from Growing Together is heavily inspired by San Francisco, a city I've visited multiple times and love reading about. My March decade of the month is the 1900s, which happens to be an important decade in SF's history.

Early in the morning of April 18th, 1906, a massive earthquake hit. Modern estimates put it around 8 on the Richter scale. For the next few days, fires swept through and destroyed large portions of the city.

When I was a kid I remember wishing that the Dear America series had a diary about the earthquake. So when Scholastic published A City Tossed and Broken during their reboot period, I was ecstatic. Minnie Bonner's look was pretty easy to recreate and I was surprised how well the jacket and skirt worked together.
