The Simple Faith of Mister Rogers (Library Edition): Spiritual Insights from the World's Most Beloved Neighbor

Fred Rogers visited so quietly with the children of America that nobody dreamed he was a Presbyterian minister. Using puppets instead of a pulpit, this icon of children's television shared with his audience the basic principles of Christianity-- forgiveness, kindness, compassion, respect-- and made those values real for America's youngsters.
