About this listen

"[Jill] Biden’s anecdotal portrait of her spouse’s early years spotlights his competitiveness and risk-taking...his role as a peacemaker, devoted brother, and defender of bullied peers...and reveals how...high school, when he became a star athlete and class president, paved the way for leadership roles in college and beyond." (Publishers Weekly)

“Young readers are likely to find inspiration and aspiration in young Joey as a relatable, athletic, and tenacious kid who grew into a civic leader.” (School Library Journal)

Joey is about the young life of Joe Biden, the 47th vice president of the United States, and includes never-before-told family stories about the president-elect and former vice president’s childhood - written by Jill Biden, his spouse.

Joe Biden grew up in Scranton, Pennsylvania, the oldest of four children. His parents always encouraged him and his siblings to be independent and strong. The family moved to Wilmington, Delaware, where at 29, Biden was one the youngest United States senators ever elected. This is his story.

"A Biden is always truthful."

A sentimental story

A really great story that is exciting and encouraging to any young man coming of age like myself. I found myself engrossed in this book and found it increasingly relatable, developmental, maturative, and generally worthwhile to get through. I highly recommend this book.

An Inspiration to All!

This is a wonderful 'believe in yourself and never give-up' book for anyone, not just children. It gives a quick look of former Vice-President Joe Biden as a child to becoming a senator, his beliefs and his compassion for all people. Additionally, Jill Biden does an excellent job narrating the story.

stuff cadenced readsing. not listener easy. not

not a good reader. stiff sharply thrust sounds shot out without emotionally referencing the text. I so wanted to love this book, but as a childrens literature advocate and a 4th grade teacher, I know this reading and storyline will not sell in class.
