Even when I am not here, we still can be so very near.
I want you to know, my dear, I think of you
There is always a need in a person's life for Mr. Rogers. As a child, he was there with soft words and fun puppets. He was friendly and calm, and gave life lessons that truly never stop being relevant.
As an adult, Mr. Rogers is still beloved, but a lot of his most important beliefs get lost. We know some of them, like the one that comes out every time there is an awful national disaster, or horrible event in the world. About finding the helpers.
Mr. Rogers was very much a helper. And even know, so many years after his death. his words are still here to help soothe, and give answers.
Fred Rogers was a very religious man, and he mentions faith and God in his books, but there's never anything overly preachy about it. He never once leads one to believe that if they don't believe in a higher power, they can't benefit from his words. And that's rare, and beautiful.
There is never a bad time to remember the words of Mr. Rogers.

I feel like this book was not as good as "The World According to Mr. Rogers", because the writing was more disjointed, composed of smaller snippets. Sometimes a passage would be as short as a single sentence before the writing moved on to a different topic. I think the great thing about Mr. Rogers's communication is that he really explains things very well and in great depth. He shows that he understands the nuances of a situation, and is able to explain clearly what he feels about it. This is completely lost when the passages are as short as they are in this book. They become feel-good statements without much depth. However, that said, I did give this book a good rating because it's always great to see more of Mr. Rogers, and there are enough long passages in this book that it's still a pleasure to read.

This is a nicely collected book of affirmational quotes from Fred Rogers. They are loosely gathered into broad categories: who we are, about being loved, life-directions, etc. It's a short book, 157 pages, with a quote or poetry or observation on each page.
Mr. Rogers was (and is) such an icon and ideal. He made the world a better place.
I really enjoyed reading these quotes. They are certainly inspirational, but some of them are truly profound.
