The gift of Fred Rogers keeps on giving through this book which encapsulates the wonder and wisdom of his philosophy and actions as they relate to child development and our treatment of others, no matter the age. The chapters include topics such as curiosity, creativity, communication, working together, and learning and growing. In each one, pertinent quotes are accompanied by narrative context and suggestions for applying the principles in daily life. A useful volume for parents, caregivers, family members, and anyone interested in enhancing the well-being of those around them as well as themselves.

I work with young children and I feel that after reading this book will help me connect and understand them. I like the simple interactions tool chart shown also. A sentence that stuck with me was “ knowing that someone is there for us can make our difficult days easier.” Such a true statement

Wonderful book, I met the author through a work training this year and was blown away. Reading his words just made it more clear why I was so enticed and blown away by his thoughts and realizations.
