This short passage feels quite like a piece of poetry, you may think of it
this way. However, there seems to be a certain logic to that: only one head at
a time that she'd lay her hand on, hence a singular "our head".

The same with "our cheek", too, probably.

As with turning "our little tear-stained faces up to hers", it is an immediate
action that can be performed simultaneously by all of the partakers, no matter
how many or few. Well, assuming it's not a single-head-multi-face type of
monster.
