    • Comfort the first fathers day without my dad
Format: Paperback
The last day I saw my dad alive during the pandemic via iPad broke my heart deeply. Even though it was peaceful and a few hours later he stopped breathing, it was still super sad. I felt drawn to watch the Mister Rogers movie starring Tom Hanks. Not knowing what it was about other than the actor author learned it was about me in part. Reflecting aspects of the relationship my dad and I had similarly as the storyline. After the film, I borrowed online hopped on Amazon and purchased every Fred Rogers book I could find. On Father’s Day, I began my new tradition reading pages from this book and others. For me, this blessing is from God. The thought came to me these are all the things my dad would have taught me if he knew how. Father’s Day didn't feel as sad when I did this. I'm super glad to have a new ritual to help me connect with the memories of my dad. And, won't lie... I feel special. Just the way I am 😆 The note to readers at the beginning starts with ”What is essential is invisible to the eye.” An all-time favorite line from a favorite book, The Little Prince. Concludes with: ”So may it be with words in this book, which have been gathered from my speeches, songs, newspaper columns, books, and television programs. Once you’ve read them and made them your own, may they find their place in the innermost part of you - in that essential part of you that inspires you to be who you really are.” - Fred Rogers Mister Rogers had me at The Little Prince. Even though I'm grown have learned it's never too late to nurture oneself. Thank you Fred Rogers for your empathy, kind heart, and thoughtful mindful ideas shared generously. Preparing to launch a children’s series and pursue similar ideals find this and the other books helpful glimpses to a wider perspective of who I could reach through partnering with Fred’s spirit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 💯🚀❤️❤️❤️😁 ... show more

    • Super, super tiny, and it has a mirror too!
I knew that it was small, but I didn't know it was this small. I don't think I've ever even seen a book this small before. The front has a cool mirror, too, which is a huge bonus. I like how it's organized. It's broken into themes of what Mr. Rogers stood for. It's mostly a book of quotes, but they're good quotes. One that was really interesting was how Mr. Rogers parents, at a very early age, let him use the piano to express whatever emotion he was feeling, and how he thought that was a really good way of dealing with emotions. After mine arrived and I loved it, I ordered about ten as gifts for my friends. ... show more

    • Hey, it Mr. Rogers. How can you go wrong?
Format: Paperback
If you liked Fred Rogers you'll like the book. I actually think it is much better than the show as the show assumed a juvenile audience whereas the book of course, assumes a parental audience. It is a collection of his thoughts -without baggage like the modern "Sesame Street inclusiveness" propaganda, on raising kids, their sometimes trepidations, the importance of play and imagination, as one might expect. Anyone who buys the book likely already employs Rogers' philosophies in raising kids. I actually bought this for my teen son who always loved "Mr. Rogers". ... show more

    • Must-Read for Parents
Format: Kindle
This gem of a book contains small bits of wisdom, that together add up to a wonderful guide to loving parenting. It is a compassionate look children's interior lives--their fears, desires, anger, love, etc., and the most helpful ways a parent can respond to them. It helped me quite a bit in challenging moments of raising my children, and I have just ordered it for my daughter, a new mother. ... show more

    • He was special
I love everything about Mr. Rogers. I once wrote to him (about potty training my Deowns Syndrome son) and he personally responded to me with such kindness that I wept. He invited further correspondence as he was a personal, heart to heart man, always couched in the Spirit of Christ without being "religious". He made everyone feel special because he believed that everyone WAS SPECIAL. We should all be like him. ... show more
