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

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.

Short and Sweet
This book is really about development of children (and adults too really but they aren't mentioned) on how to nurture others and love them.
This book is simple, sweet and informative. It's quick to listen to and isn't bogged down with someone who just wants to show you their knowledge. He seems to really care and has simple ways of teaching about life. There's a happy sad reality to it.

I needed that
I was in a bad spot when I started this book. It was recommended as a means of relaxing and unwinding, all while hearing about the gifts and uniqueness each of us have. I needed it. I miss Mr. Rogers and wish we had someone like him out there today.

How can you not love it?!
It's Mr. Rogers, how can you NOT like the book. It is very interesting and has a lot of info that would be really beneficial to parents and educators. But it is also awesome for anyone else. He is so inspiring and in an odd way, his voice soothes me like I am a child again. I adore him and I loved this book

Do you want to know how to raise your kid?
It's a reminder of the important of our feelings, I know it talks about Kids but it made me cry. It has the answer to your questions and examples of phrases. It's short but powerful.

I was helped by these little thoughts lines of Fred Rogers wisdom and love for children. It meant more in 5 or 10 minutes portions.

Great for parents
Not exactly what I was looking for, I was looking for something along the lines for myself but for any parent this is a must listen to. I wish my parents had read / listened to this when I was a child.
