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.

One of the best audiobooks
To start I have over 300 audiobooks and this one has moved me the most . I've never thought so deeply or unashamed or cried so easily . Fred Rodgers in the 80's got me though my parents divorce and being a alone more frequent than not and now he's helping me deal with having a child with special needs. Thank you mr Rodgers I owe you my life

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.

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

So motivating and empathetic
this story makes me want to be a better parent. it reminds me of the love and logic series and I found many correlations between them. this was an excellent summary of Mr. Rogers' studies in child psychology and what we can do to help children grow in a healthy, loving, supportive environment.
