Nearly twenty years after his death, Fred Rogers remains a source of comfort and fond memories for generations who grew up watching Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. Over the course of his career, Rogers revolutionised children' s television in America and changed the way experts thought about the educational power of media. But perhaps his most lasting legacy was demonstrating the power of simply being nice to other people. In this collection of interviews Rogers' s gentle spirit and compassionate approach to life continues to be an inspiration.
"He wasn' t simply entertaining children or trying to turn them into consumers. He was gentle and kind and meant to soothe the fears of kids who don' t know how the world works. " --Tom Hanks "His advocacy for children was truly an advocacy for the human race. " --Yo-Yo Ma"Some people thought Mister Rogers was the biggest nerd on television. To me, he was one of the coolest men on the planet. " --Whoopi Goldberg "All my philosophies go back to Mr. Rogers--kindness, compassion, wanting the other person to be happy. " --Judd Apatow
