This was a very comprehensive bio. I never really saw this series but he seems to have been a very nice man who cared about children. Great narration!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My second post to #ThinkPositiveBePositive.
Going through my library and this caught my attention...
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks, I can post twice, right?? I mean, without being invited again.
I loved this 2018 documentary so much. Really inspiring. I‘d like to try the tagged biography sometime.

I loved Mr. Rogers growing up, but this was too slow and uneventful for me. He was a rich, shy child and I felt that could have been summed up in a chapter as opposed to dragging it out.
My book club picked this book for November (still catching up on my reviews...), and I really enjoyed discovering Fred Rogers, his childhood, his vision for TV programs intended for children, and how his concept evolved over time. Some people feel like there wasn't much details in this book about his private life, but I felt it was enough, I didn't need to know more personal things.
This book was so calming to read! Reading transcripts of interviews he gave over the years was relaxing. It makes me wish Mr. Rogers was alive today to help kids make sense of todays world.
An in depth look at one of the most revered public figures of our time, this book did not disappoint! I learned so many things about how Mister Rogers developed his child psychology approach to television, became a Presbyterian minister, remained 143lbs for most of his adult life! 😁 If you have fond memories of the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, this is not to be missed! #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks
