Sheriff Joe: From Bullies N' Stuff To My Badge & Cuffs - 9781638371199

More than anything in the world, little Joe wanted to grow up and become a police officer just like his dad. The problem was, Joe was born with birth defects giving him a speech impediment, bad eyesight, and flat feet. With therapy his speech improved, but to be a police officer he still needed to be able to see well and to run fast. He got really thick glasses, but he still couldn't run. The bullies at school all made fun of him every day and told him he could never be a cop, but Joe ignored them and didn't let their mean words get to him. He had his goal in mind and wouldn't let go. When he finished school, he applied for lots of police jobs, and one day his prayers were answered. If he could pass the police academy the city would give him a job as a police officer. But could he do it? Could he ever shoot well enough and run fast enough to pass the rigorous academy? This fun and inspirational 60+ page, rhyming picture book about Sheriff Joe has colorful illustrations combined with real photos and a page-turning story. Written by Sheriff Joe Powell of Austin, Texas, and illustrated by his wife, Julie Powell, the book teaches kids in a humorous and positive way that every kid, no matter how many challenges they face, can do anything or be anything they want to be!
