Pleasant bio of Fred Rogers
Was expecting something more along the lines of Fred's previous book to parents, but this was more about his background, how he came to his show and lived his life. I enjoyed hearing his wife tell of their life together. She reads with the slow, thoughtful speech of Fred, plus a lovely southern accent. The celebrity readings were a nice reminder of his philosophy to help kids understand and navigate their world. If you remember Mr. Rogers fondly, this will be a warm listen.

Sound-bytes and Snippets
This book isn't quite what I was expecting. There are a handful of celebrity narrators taking turns sharing snippets and sound-bytes of Fred Rogers wisdom, mixed with a speech Fred presented at an awards event, and a touching foreword by Fred's wife about her life with Fred. All-in-all, not a bad book - just more of a background montage than a story.

Everyone should read this!
I love everything about this book. We need another Mr. Rogers in this world but I’m afraid we will never will. This man single-handedly made children and adults better versions of themself. This book reminded me of that.

Touching and thought provoking.
I never appreciated Mr. Rogers until I was in my early twenties and started working with children in the DV field. I used to carry around a copy of this book in my bag. The audio version is lovely. I hope more people pick a copy up.

Awesome snippets, not good as audiobook. Get book!
When purchasing this audiobook I did not realize that it was going to be just a lot of small chapters which is not good for listening in one long sitting. I will give it back and get the book instead.
