TOGO to the Rescue: a Halifax Explosion story
(for elementary school age children)

Artfully illustrated adventure story, well-suited for elementary school age children (7-10), is the result of a collaboration by the mother-daughter team of schoolteachers, Laura King and Hannah Aubrecht. Share the poignant prose of Laura and the delightful, colourful sketches by illustrator, Hannah, who created this fascinating rescue adventure. While the story is fictional, it is based on real experiences of family members and friends who lived through this tragic event.

This book is a tribute to the heroism of so many, beginning with first responders and front-line medical staff, but including many ordinary citizens who stepped-up to help their neighbours.

Can you believe that there was a time when people didnt use cars to go from place to place Its true And do you know how they travelled before cars or trucks or planes were invented You wont believe it By horse Yes a horse would pull a wagon and people would sit in the wagon and go about their business of travelling from here to thereFamilies loved their horses and treated them much like pets But they were important pets because they had jobs to do and one of those jobs was to pull the family cart or wagon Families had to feed and care for their horses and put them in the barn at night to sleep Every day the families had to give their horses fresh hay and make sure they had plenty of water to drink Their horse was a big part of the family Now Id like to tell you about a very special horse named TOGO and how he became a hero You see TOGO didnt start off as anything special Thats right no one could know that he was about to become a hero he was just a regular horse doing a regular jobEvery day he pulled his cart around to all the corner stores full of groceries from Uncle Arthurs warehouse The corner stores would then sell the groceries to the people who relied on them for fresh food TOGO and Uncle Arthur would go to the same stores every day bringing them food to sell to people in each community so they could take the groceries home to eat for supperLATERAs morning approached the snowy winds began to slow TOGO wearily trotted by a large pile of boards glass and other wreckage He thought he heard a little voice calling out His ears were sharp and even though he was tired he thought he recognized that voice Could it be Ernie Ernie must be nearby but where TOGO stopped and carefully listenedUncle Arthur urged him on His ears were not as good as Togos and he did not hear little Ernies voice calling out to them But no matter how much Uncle Arthur urged him on TOGO refused to budge I wonder what the problem is Uncle Arthur whispered to himself He got off the cart and went to check to see if Togos weary hooves may have been injured by the rubble he was walking throughTOGOs hooves looked fine to Uncle Arthur But just then TOGO heard the voice again Yes it definitely WAS Ernie He was calling from just behind them TOGO started to back up and head in the direction of Ernies voiceWhoa called Uncle Arthur Where are you going TOGO he asked TOOGO went directly to the spot where Ernies voice was coming out of the rubble And finally Uncle Arthur could also hear Ernies voice
