Good Morning, Sunshine!: The Joey Moss Story<\/em>
\nby Lorna Schultz Nicholson (Author) and Alice Carter (Illustrator)
\n@ Amazon<\/a> | Bookshop<\/a> | IndieBound<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> Joey Moss first became known to many Canadians because of his work with the NHL Edmonton Oilers hockey team. Joey loved connecting with people. Whether he was singing “Oh Canada” on a jumbotron screen at a hockey game, welcoming a new friend with a playful wrestling match, or dancing on a runway for a charity fashion show, Joey loved making people feel good. But his impact and influence started long before he joined the Oilers. Joey was born with Down syndrome at a time when many children like him were institutionalized. Instead, Joey lived at home, surrounded by his supportive family who was determined that he should receive the same opportunities as others. From this loving environment grew a caring, energetic man who went on to show the world that people like him could do many things and contribute greatly to society. <\/p>\n
