Lovely #nonfictionpicturebook #biography of the boy who became President. I particularly enjoyed learning how he worked hard to overcome his stutter (memorizing poetry, experimenting with marbles…). The book itself does not mention the death of his wife and daughter or of his son later on, but these events are included in a timeline at the end of the book. #JoeBiden

Written by #JillBiden and illustrated by #AmyJuneBates

youngreadrshelf Do you think it would be good for middle grade readers? 3y
BookishMarginalia @youngreadrshelf I‘m a fan of picture books for all readers, so yes — they are great springboards for conversation and further research in a really accessible, appealing way. 3y
youngreadrshelf @BookishMarginalia thanks. I also like using books as a way to start conversations in my classroom. 3y

In honour of Joe Biden‘s inauguration, his favourite ice cream shop made a very special, limited run ice cream that celebrates his usual order (a double scoop of chocolate chip ice cream in a waffle cone). They ship all over the US. We couldn‘t help ourselves. We do love our ice cream!!! In my imagination, there is a freezer in the White House kitchen full of this!!! He‘ll be eating it for the next 4 years. 🤣😂🤣🍨🍨🍨

Andrea313 Ha! I need to try and find this near me. Jeni's is one of my favorites! 3y
GingerAntics @Andrea313 at least online they‘re sold out. Fingers crossed you can find some in a store, though. It‘s AMAZING!!! 3y

This is a fun look at Joe Biden‘s life for kids. The art work is great. The story combined with the artwork (and occasional photos) just make you smile. Whatever your political affiliation, this book has good lessons for children and adults in it about being a good person, being helpful and responsible, standing up for others, and working hard.

Found this little treasure at the last minute before payday. Just from paging through it, I think it‘s just adorable. It‘s written by Dr Jill Biden, so this is about as official as it gets. 💙💙💙 I‘m feeling much more hopeful with Joe(y) and Dr. Jill in the White House. I‘ll definitely be keeping some of them around as well.

I'm making more effort to review what I read because last year I went into a slump. Already I'm 15 books ahead of schedule and my litfluence is improving. No if I could just get vaccinated.

Clwojick Woohoo! You‘re doing awesome! ♥️👏🏻🤩 3y
mandarchy Thanks! 3y

Just received this gift for my school library. Not a bad idea to read for presidents day. I always cry though when I read about perseverance. I'm such a blubber head.

Y‘all, I loved this. 😭🥺 A simple presentation of Joe‘s lifelong dedication to the betterment of his immediate community and his country, lovingly written by the excellent Dr. Jill Biden (#callherbyhertitle!!!!), and beautifully illustrated by Amy June Bates. It‘s been two months since the election, and a week since the Inauguration, and I‘m still just...so proud. 🥺😭 #joey #thestoryofjoebiden #joebiden #joe46 #drjillbiden #drflotus #decencywon

Lsmoore43 I feel the same. I am so happy with Biden as President and Harris as VP. This picture is just beautiful. Dr Jill Biden will be a wonderful first lady. Thanks for the post. 3y

Loved the illustrations for this picture book intro to Joe.
When dealing with bullies his mother told him:
“Remember Joey, you‘re a Biden.
Nobody is better than you.
You‘re not better than anyone else, but nobody is any better than you.”
