It’s Time To Call 911


How a young boy saved his mother from the lessons
he learned when his grandmother read the book to him.


Letter from the Grandmother to Penton Overseas:

To Whom It May Concern:

About a year ago, I purchased a book published by your company -  It's Time To Call 911.  My daughter has had some life-threatening asthma attacks, and as her husband is in the military and has been deployed, at times she's there with just my grandson. At that time, he was 3 yrs. old. His parents read him the book and worked with him-he loved it and pretty soon knew it by heart.

On April 10th of this year, shortly after his 4th birthday, my daughter collapsed with a gall bladder attack while her husband was at work. They are now stationed in North Pole, Alaska. Tony found his mom unconscious on the floor and called 911. The paramedics stated that it was a good thing he had called as she was going into shock when they arrived, and her husband wasn't due home for several hours.

I am sending you a link to the original news story that appeared in the Fairbanks Daily News Miner.  I have told several people about the book and everyone seems to be going out to buy it. This morning  he was featured in a spot on Good Morning America this morning, showing the book as well.

I just wanted to thank you for publishing this book as this was a great tool that helped my grandson save his mom- of course, I'm pretty proud of him as well!  I hope more people purchase this valuable tool.
