Summary: "Every weekday for decades, Mister Rogers stepped through a door in his TV house and sang, "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood" while he changed from street clothes into a cardigan and sneakers. As the creator and star of public television's Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, Fred Rogers was a champion of compassion, equality, and kindness. He was fiercely devoted to children and to taking their fears, concerns, and questions about the world seriously. Rogers's work and his messages still resonate with parents and children today -- especially in a world where the human values he championed are too often forgotten or neglected. This first full-length biography of Fred Rogers tells the story of a unique and enduring American figure. Based on original interviews, oral histories, and archival documents, The Good Neighbor takes listeners beyond the gentle man in the sweater, tracing Rogers's personal, professional, and artistic life through decades of work."--
