"Over the course of his nearly forty-year career, Fred Rogers revolutionized children's television and changed how experts thought about the educational power of media. But perhaps his most lasting legacy was demonstration of the power of kindness in his beloved Mister Roger's Neighborhood. In the interviews featured in this collection - including Roger's fiery (for him) 1969 Senat testimony that saved PBS, and early-career conversation with Terry Gross, and his final interview with Diane Rehm - Rogers discusses music, family, his faith, and his passion for children's well-being. MOst triking, however, is Rogers's compassionate and gentle spirit that continues to inspire."--Page 4 of cover.
