Hello, Neighbor!: The Kind and Caring World of Mister Rogers
The only authorized picture book biography of Mister Rogers written and illustrated by 2018 Caldecott medalist Matthew Cordell
How was Mister Rogers' Neighborhood created, and who was the man that started it all? This moving and informative picture book explores the history of this acclaimed television show and its inspiring creator in an accessible way for children.
Mister Rogers' Neighborhood was groundbreaking in its own quiet, generous way. It introduced art, professions, food and even highlighted difficult subjects, like losing a loved one and divorce. This information was delivered both by live performers, like Fred Rogers himself and through a lively cast of puppets who lived in the land of make believe.
Backmatter includes a short biography of Fred Rogers as well as exclusively published archival photos provided by the Mister Rogers' Company, and an essay from the author.
Published on the coattails of the Mister Rogers' biopic, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood starring Tom Hanks, this is the perfect picture book for all who appreciate the power and beauty of Fred's mission.
Thoroughly illustrated with lively and captivating drawings, by Caldecott-winning author and illustrator Matthew Cordell, Hello Neighbor captures the spirit of the beloved television show.
