Summary

For more than thirty years, Fred Rogers was a beloved fixture in American homes. Warm and welcoming, he spoke directly to children - and their parents - about the marvels of the world, the things that worried them, and above all, the importance of being themselves. Dressed in his cardigan and sneakers, Fred Rogers offered a wholesome message of generosity and love that changed the landscape of television and shaped a generation of children. Edwards pays tribute to this cultural icon: the unique, gentle man who embodied the best of what we could be. Looking back at the history of the show and the creative visionary behind it, Edwards reminds us of the indelible lessons and insights that Mister Rogers conveyed - what it means to be a good person, to be open-hearted, to be thoughtful, to be curious, to be compassionate - and why they matter. 2019
