Story5 out of 5 stars 1
He was their neighbor, their friend. And for over 30 years, Fred Rogers visited so quietly with the children of America that nobody dreamed he was a Presbyterian minister. Using puppets instead of a pulpit, this icon of children's television shared with America's youngsters the basic principles of the Christian faith - forgiveness, kindness, compassion, respect - and made those values real for his audience.

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.

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.

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

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.

Calming voice and helpful messages for parents
Using simple language and examples, Fred's book reinforced that love and acceptance are what all children need and that parents may make mistakes along the way and that's okay. Being able to hear his messages in his voice was a more powerful experience for me than by reading the book on my own. Highly recommend!
