What the critics say
- Audie Award Winner, Inspirational/Spiritual, 2004
"Reminds readers that before we learned everything we needed to know in kindergarten, or had our first taste of chicken soup for the soul, Rogers taught valuable lessons about playing make-believe, keeping one's promises, finding strength through helping others, and not being afraid to cry."

Sound-bytes and Snippets
This book isn't quite what I was expecting. There are a handful of celebrity narrators taking turns sharing snippets and sound-bytes of Fred Rogers wisdom, mixed with a speech Fred presented at an awards event, and a touching foreword by Fred's wife about her life with Fred. All-in-all, not a bad book - just more of a background montage than a story.

Everyone should read this!
I love everything about this book. We need another Mr. Rogers in this world but I’m afraid we will never will. This man single-handedly made children and adults better versions of themself. This book reminded me of that.

Pleasant bio of Fred Rogers
Was expecting something more along the lines of Fred's previous book to parents, but this was more about his background, how he came to his show and lived his life. I enjoyed hearing his wife tell of their life together. She reads with the slow, thoughtful speech of Fred, plus a lovely southern accent. The celebrity readings were a nice reminder of his philosophy to help kids understand and navigate their world. If you remember Mr. Rogers fondly, this will be a warm listen.

Life as perceived by Mr. Rogers
I loved this book. It is well written, and could be read or listened to multiple times. There is a light that shines when Mr. Rogers speaks in this book. It was wonderful to hear Mrs. Rogers voice in the preface. We need his words and advice now more than ever.

The beauty and thoughtfulness of Mister Rodgers shines throughout. I realized a lot about myself and who I still want to be. This was a pleasant emotional reset button. Highly recommended for anyone feeling numb to the world right now.
