I have spent over fifteen years researching, collecting, and archiving the work of Fred Rogers through the Neighborhood Archiveāan online resource for all things Mister Rogers. In addition to an established working relationship with Fred Rogers Productions (Pittsburgh, PA), the Archive site itself has grown to be used by academic professionals, child development researchers, television writers, and countless others with fond memories of their visits to Mister Rogersā Neighborhood.
This book is, hands down, my favorite title Iāve read when it comes to the life and career of Fred Rogers. Long provides an amazing insight into the truly selfless love that Fred Rogers showed toward everyone he encountered.
The main reason for my interest in Fredās work is the ways in which he often bucked tradition and societal expectations in order to focus on the value and uniqueness of all individuals. Michael Long provides a look at Fred Rogers, of which most people are unaware.
Fred Rogers was one of the most radical pacifists of contemporary history. We do not usually think of him as radical, partly because he wore colorful, soft sweaters made by his mother. Nor do we usually imagine him as a pacifist; that adjective seems way too political to describe the host of a children's program known for its focus on feelings. We have restricted Fred Rogers to the realm of entertainment, children, and feelings, and we've ripped him out of his political and religious context. Rogers was an ordained Presbyterian minister, and although he rarely shared his religious convictions onā¦

When I first started to research the life and work of Fred Rogers, I was almost immediately faced with the realization that he was so much more than just the host of a childrenās television program.
This is one of the first accounts I recall coming across that shared details of a personal relationship with Fred and the indescribable impact he had on the author. Tim Madigan is one of the countless people whose lives were changed by knowing Fred Rogers and his book was the first to confirm for me the depths to which a friendship with Fred could impact a personās heart and soul.
It began as another newspaper assignment, a celebrity profile of the childrenās television icon. But in Fred Rogers, Texas journalist Tim Madigan found more than a fascinating subject. From their first meeting in 1995, at Rogersā invitation, the two became unlikely friends, a deep and abiding relationship that lasted until Rogersā death in 2003.In that time, Madigan found Rogers to be much more than the calm and compassionate personality of television. He was a person of unique human greatness who embodied love, compassion and wisdom his every waking moment. He was the transcendent being who guided Madigan through periods ofā¦
It doesnāt matter that Iām a former journalist who has also most recently worked at Sesame Workshop (yes, that Elmo!) and Mattel (Fisher-Price, Barbie, Thomas & Friends, etc). When my kiddo shouts, āMommy! I need a bum bum wipe!ā my duty is to get to that doodie ASAP. Ah, parenthood...is there anything more humbling?Ā Someday, my kids might think itās cool that I wrote for old-school magazines (!) and interviewed celebrities (!!) and lived in NYC for 15 years (!!!). But for now, Iām proud I get to read my silly little childrenās book to them any time they ask. Or any book for that matter because books are magic!

Iām a kidlit author myself. Iāve written two middle-grade novels, one of which is all about having a food allergy, but my interest in food allergies is all due to my first kid. Amelia was born with multiple allergies to common ingredients like eggs and dairy. At first it was hard! Figuring out how to cook for her at home and keep her safe when she was in school or at a friendās house felt daunting and frightening, so we turned to books for advice, recipes, and education for the entire family. Even if your reader isnāt the one with allergies, theyāve no doubt got a classmate or family member who does.
Little kids who are already familiar with Daniel from the beloved Daniel Tigerās Neighborhood animated television series will be drawn to this story, whether or not they themselves have a food allergy. Daniel eats a peach and discovers heās allergic to the fruit, but with some help from his dad and his awesome doctor, Daniel learns he can take care of himself no matter where he is.Ā Ā

I started writing children's books to connect more with my daughter. When she was born, I struggled to bond with her because I felt like I had lost part of who I was. My husband reminded me how important it was to build a strong bond with her, so I began spending more one-on-one time with her. Our favorite activity was looking for the moon together, which led to my first book, "Mommy, Mommy, Where Is The Moon?". When my son came along, I made sure my daughter knew she was still loved, promising our special time together wouldn't stop and she would always be my first baby.
I loved that this book tells the story of him introducing his new baby sister, Margaret, to the reader. It also focuses on how Daniel can be a big helper in the family in an easy and relatable way.
The book also mentions the importance of special time with just Mom and Dad, which assures the older sibling that he or she is not forgotten and still loved.Ā

As a queer, fat disabled Black woman in America, I am all too familiar with the experiences and history that these 5 aforementioned authors detail when it comes how deep fatphobia is embedded in this country.
