Summary: An Inspiring Story for both Children and Adults
Comment: Small Change, by Floriana Hall, should be an inspiration to any young person from late elementary school age through college age. It teaches us that life can be felt to be worth living, even cheerfully, in spite of poverty, or obstacles. I myself, of a much older age, have found it inspiring. Many young persons today feel sad and underprivileged, even angry, if they cannot have the latest designer clothes or electronic toy, to keep up with their peers. The heroine in this true-to-life book works from very early age, within and outside the family, to better an unfortunate family situation, later being even able to contriubte to the family's financial resources. Even the father's irresponsible behavior does not demoralize this brave girl. All the way along she makes friends easily, can laugh readily and enjoy life in spite of real hunger and hardships. This book should make our young people appreciate what they have and should be an antidote to what we see as the discontentment in our youth today.

I have lived in both poor and affluent communities and have witnessed that happiness is a state of mind and not solely dependent upon the acquition of wealth and material goods. It is, of course, a truism that money cannot buy happiness. Mrs. Hall's story, Small Change, drives this truth home.

Summary: Be Thankful Now
Comment: WOW! You have got to read Small Change, a book by Floriana Hall. Small Change was a book during the "Depression Years". It was about Floriana's life. Gee, it must have been hard for her, but she kept her head held high and her voice strong. She never gave up hope. I learned to never take things for granted and EVERYONE should be thankful for what live with right now. I know life can be hard sometimes, but still. . . we are EXTREMELY lucky now. When Mrs. Odom, Floriana's daughter read this book allowed to us in class, we had nothing but oohh's and aaww's because we know it was a great book and we also know she had a hard life. No matter what, life will never be easy and it will never be hard.Just think of all the great things you have in life now! I know I am lucky! I know everyone in the owrld is. Maybe not everyone, but they're luckier than she was then. I learned a lesson and if you read the book you'll know what I am talking about! You have hands, so use to grab this book!
