Heads Up: The Story of One Quarter
"Heads Up is the story of a family who loses all that they possess, with the exception of one another, the clothes on their backs, and one quarter. This family went to live with Grandma and Grandpa, until they could get back on their feet. Whoever left the house looking for work, Mom or Dad, took the quarter, just in case they needed to phone home in an emergency. The story goes where the quarter goes--to Grandma and Grandpa's house, out looking for work, to the park--and ends up somewhere surprising. In the end we discover it doesn't matter how little we possess, as long as we have one another and faith in God.

Heads Up - uplifting!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Possessions may come and go, but through good times and bad, family and faith remain. Heads Up is a beautifully written and illustrated tale of the importance of a loving family. A family favorite in our home! The vibrantly colored illustrations tell the story as well as the text, and hold even our one-year-old's interest. This would be a great book for early readers to read to Mom and Dad. Heads Up is a wonderful addition to any library!

"Love one another." I don't want to give away the ending, but it will make you feel good. The story underlines the importance of family, even when money is tight. Underlines it in bright colors. You'll enjoy the care this professional illustrator (the liner says she worked for dreamworks) took with every page. Your kids will love this book.
