He studied at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Child Development and was ordained a Presbyterian minister, with the unique charge of working with children and families through television. Fred Rogers' relentless commitment to all that is best in people led to an astonishing array of honors, from induction into the Television Hall of Fame to the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Mister Rogers' Neighborhood first debuted in 1968 on PBS and for over forty years has defined television at its finest.

Editorial Reviews

"I have really never considered myself a TV star. I always thought I was a neighbor who just came in for a visit." Fred Rogers' softspoken, genial manner earned him the trust of millions of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood viewers. His compassion and wisdom are abundantly evident in Many Ways to Say I Love You, a posthumous collection of his words of wisdom on parenting.

This would be powerful advice for parents even if it weren't culled from the writings of the great Fred Rogers and read by a group of splendid actors, all joyously resonant and deeply committed to the material. What these readers express in this potpourri of compact, almost aphoristic, lessons is Mr. Rogers's gift for lifting children above their insecurities and vulnerabilities. His very presence on the TV screen provided kids with a sense that they were connected to someone affirming, steady, and protective. A touching forward by the widow of the late TV personality captures the focus of his life's work and the enduring optimism he communicated so well to children and parents alike.
