Once Upon a Time in Daly City

By Jessica M Diaz

Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was a dairy farmer named Mr. John D. Daly who helped rescue San Franciscans from the 1906 earthquake by offering them milk and a place to stay on his hill. Through these simple acts of kindness, a city was born and a land dramatically altered forever. When Mr. Daly joins forces with Mr. Marchbank, the two give a wonderful gift to Daly Citians that is still enjoyed today! One hundred years later, Daly City has evolved from a simple hill full of cows, potatoes, and cabbage into a thriving city and more importantly, a much loved home for people today. This is a charming children's fictitious picture book inspired by the true story of how the city of Daly City came to be, and the wonderful acts of love that enriched it. This book honors Daly City's culture and its 100th birthday. The characters' rhyming dialogue is fictitious but this heartwarming book is inspired by Daly City's true story.
