About this book

Book Summary

Fred Rogers has been an enduring presence in American homes for over 30 years as the beloved host of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, and his legacy of comforting, plainspoken advice continues in this new book. Culled from many of Fred Rogers' never-before published speeches, books, songs, commentary, and notes, these writings have been chosen for their intelligent insight, guidance, and assurance for those venturing forth into a new stage of their life, be it a graduation, a marriage, the birth of a child, or even the loss of a loved one.
