This was an outstanding and detailed look into the life of an exception man and human being, as well as interesting insights into the foundations of public broadcasting. He was raised by weathly philanthropist parents and had the uncommon liberty throughout his life to pursue the highest purposes for his life without comprimise or financial motivations. He was driven by intelligent love and understanding of the developmental needs of children, and influenced several generations with his sincere faith-backed principles and purposes. He put feet to the concept of unconditional love. He was a man of great personal integrity, and reading this biography was informative and inspiring at the deepest level. This in-depth rendering of his life was thought-provoking, and I am different for having experienced it. Truly an outstanding read that was very hard to put down. Who doesn't remember Mr. Rogers? A man of modern myth and legendary kindness, Fred Rogers revolutionized educational content for children. This intimate walk through his life and work is as gentle, genuine, complex, and kind as he was - and read aloud by LeVar Burton himself. Fred Roger's story spans generations different than those of today, and his path to becoming the man in the sweater we all know is interesting and fascinating. A wonderful listen. 3.5 stars, but rounding up, because I really want people to read this book. Not because it's the best written book out there, but because of the subject matter. Mr. Rogers was truly revolutionary, practicing radical kindness and grace. The world would be a much, much better place if more people would adopt a these practices themselves. I saw the most recent Mr. Rogers documentary in the theater, and I still felt like I learned a lot from this book. Mr Rogers was exactly the kind of man he portrayed on the neighborhood - that made him an exemplary human, but not a very interesting subject for a biography. There were some interesting parts to his life, including some familiar relations and his less successful projects geared towards adults, but they were mainly constrained to the last 30% of the book.

The writing was good, but not the wow of five stars. Fred Rogers was definitely five stars the more I read about him.
For years I have started my day at work singing the chorus of Won't You Be My Neighbor. Watching the show as a child made such a lasting impression on me, that I have wanted to share that message with those around me. This book just made it a more conscious choice to imitate Fred Rogers. That is what Saints inspire. ( )
