You Are My Friend

A heartwarming, "beautifully crafted" picture book that celebrates the work of Mister Rogers and carries on his legacy of kindness (Booklist, starred review).
 
Mister Rogers is one of the most beloved television personalities of our time, but before he was the man who brought us Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, he was just little Freddie Rogers. Though he was often sick and had trouble making friends as a child, his mom and grandfather encouraged him to ask for help and explore the world. With their support, he learned how to better say what he was feeling and see the beauty around him. As he grew up, he realized he could spread the message of compassion, equality, and kindness through television. You Are My Friend is a gentle homage to Fred Rogers and shows how his simple message still resonates with us today: "There's no person in the world like you and I like you just the way you are." The book also includes a short biography of Fred Rogers' life and a bibliography.
"A simply written, thoughtful tribute worthy of the incomparable Mister Rogers." ?Kirkus Reviews
This is a work of fiction. This book is an expression of admiration of Fred Rogers, the man and the artist, by the author and illustrator. This book is not associated with or endorsed by The Fred Rogers Company.
