Whether a precocious six-year-old doing it all by himself, or a meek two-year-old being read stories in Grandpa's lap, all children need assurance - assurance that it is okay to feel silly, lonely, happy, embarrassed, sad, or shy. The wording of Do You Ever Feel Like Joey? is appropriate for children from the read-to age up through beginning readers. The overall feel of the book is inspirational, positive, and empowering. But, mostly, the pictures of Joey are sure to win your heart!
