Timeless Wisdom From a Childhood Friend

It's what Fred Rogers says and the kindness with which he says it that makes this entire book a meaningful favourite for me. My adult heart needed to hear his voice.

Sweet and Short

It is great, but a little short. I would have loved to hear more details on the topics he discusses.
