This is a collection of thoughts that Fred Rogers wrote over the years. They were collected by his wife, friends and co-workers. The subject divisions are The Courage to be yourself; Understanding love; The Challenges of inner discipline; and We are all neighbors.

I think this is probably the best way to really know the mind of Fred Rogers and how he approached life.

This is just a private note to myself of passages of main interest. Pages 12, 14, 15, 20,21,22, 27, 28, 29, 31,32,34, 38, 40, 41, 42, 46, 47, 51, 53, 55, 57, 74, 78), 83, 87, 92, 93, 101, 102, 105, 107, 109, 111, 112, 113, 126, 129, 130, 131, 142, 143, 146, 156, 161, 163, 164, 167, 170, and 177.

This short mini book hits the high points of Mr. Rogers’ wisdom and beliefs. It touches on love, friendship, respect, individuality, and honesty. His caring nature, especially for children, shines throughout this book. Included is a heart-warming introduction by Joanne Rogers. ( )

Review excerpt:

Won’t You Be My Neighbor

I had previously read and did a review of Life’s Journey According to Mr. Rogers, not sure which of these two came first, but they are interchangeable as far as reading order is concerned. But like I had asked with the start of that review – who couldn’t use life advice from Mr. Rogers? And the same can be asked here. Just like, I want to ask, who wouldn’t want to be Mr. Rogers’ neighbor?

Both of these books are just full of little indispensable bits of wisdom and thoughts and little sayings from Fred Rogers. He’s a man full of character, good morals, values, traditions, and basically is just everything that was right with the world. He was a light and a beacon for most children growing up with his educational show, his inspirational attitude, and his demeanor. These two books do give you some in depth, ‘behind the scenes’, looks at the man that we all know and respected from our childhoods. Little glimpses into who and what he was like, as a real person, and not just the figure we saw on television every day.

Lovely book of quotes by Mr. Rogers. I listened to the audio version and it includes a forward by his wife, speeches he'd given (the actual recordings of him delivering the speeches), with the quotes and stories being ready by John Lithgow, Tyne Daly, and Lily Tomlin. It was a nice pick-me-up on this cold winter morning. Two thumbs up! ( )

There are indeed important things to remember in this short audio book. In the forward, Mrs. Rogers gives some background on their lives that was quite interesting and informative. Mr. Rogers imparts his take on being a good neighbor and a friend. He talks about love and about grief. He recounts his heroes, and what made them heroic. Also included are some excerpts from speeches that are quite meaningful. It’s apparent that much thought went to the selection of material for this compilation. It’s a book that is timeless, and well worth reading. ( )
