Ceiba Phillips , 11 , couldn't believe what he saw when he returned to his Southern California neighborhood a month after a wildfire reduced it to rubble.

"It's sad, it's heavy, somewhat angry. Why did this have to happen?” The Eaton fire that tore through Altadena on Jan. 7 left parents and children alike to deal with the trauma of one of the most destructive fires in California history.

Children thrive on routine, and reestablishing one as quickly as possible is key to helping kids cope.

Ceiba has decided to play the saxophone in band class.

His state project will be on Michigan , where his mom is from.

He wonders what will become of Altadena , California , after the fire.

Ceiba is optimistic that Altadena "will stick together".
