ITEM OVERVIEW
Say you woke up one morning next to Sausal Creek and the city was gone. If you stood where the Fruitvale BART station is now, you would be in the middle of a large grove of willow trees (sausal in Spanish) that give the creek its name. Looking west towards Alameda, you would see huge wetlands instead of warehouses , the freeway and railroad tracks. The cries of thousands of birds would fill the sky.
Originally written in this engaging comic book format for a group of Oakland, CA school children, this is the story of how that world became this one, of the people who lived i n the watershed of Suasal creek and changed it into a very different place.
