While readers may remember Officer Clemmons from Mister Rogersâ Neighborhood, the life experiences of Francois Clemmons were so far removed from the Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

Iâve read many biographies of Fred Rogers of varying depth and quality. Some or nothing more than basic information that could be gleaned from a visit to the Wikipedia page about Fred while others are personal and heartwarming accounts of the ways in which Fred impacted the life of the author.
This is the most comprehensive and thorough look at the life of Fred Rogers available in print. I turn to this book often for biographical information about Fred that requires a look beyond a surface level.

As the creator and star of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, he was a champion of compassion, equality, and kindness. Rogers was fiercely devoted to children and to taking their fears, concerns, and questions about the world seriously.

Although the text found in this book is comprised of Fred Rogersâ own song lyrics, the illustrations are what make that title one of my absolute favorites. The vibrant and detailed artistry of the talented Luke Flowers allows these lyrics to be presented as poetry and come to life through visuals that connect with readers my own age as well as younger readers discovering Fredâs beautiful verses for the first time.
I continue to find myself thinking about the deeper meanings behind Fredâs simple lyrics as theyâre presented in print form such as this.
Mister Rogers Neighborhood had a revolutionary impact on children s television, and on millions of children themselves. Through songs, puppets, and frank conversations, Mister Rogers instilled the values of kindness, patience, and self-esteem in his viewers, and most of all, taught children how loved they were, just by being themselves. A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood reimagines the songs from the show as poetry, ranging from the iconic (Won t You Be My Neighbor?) to the forgotten gems. The poem are funny, sweet, silly, and sincere, dealing with topics of difficult feelings, new siblings, everyday routines, imagination, and more. PerfectâŚ

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 childrenâs 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 personâs heart and soul.
It began as another newspaper assignment, a celebrity profile of the childrenâs television icon. But in Fred Rogers, Texas journalist Tim Madigan found more than a fascinating subject. From their first meeting in 1995, at Rogersâ invitation, the two became unlikely friends, a deep and abiding relationship that lasted until Rogersâ 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 ofâŚ
Iâm a kidlit author myself. Iâve 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 friendâs house felt daunting and frightening, so we turned to books for advice, recipes, and education for the entire family. Even if your reader isnât the one with allergies, theyâve no doubt got a classmate or family member who does.
Little kids who are already familiar with Daniel from the beloved Daniel Tigerâs 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 heâs 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. Â

It doesnât matter that Iâm 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, âMommy! I need a bum bum wipe!â my duty is to get to that doodie ASAP. Ah, parenthood...is there anything more humbling? Someday, my kids might think itâs cool that I wrote for old-school magazines (!) and interviewed celebrities (!!) and lived in NYC for 15 years (!!!). But for now, Iâm proud I get to read my silly little childrenâs book to them any time they ask. Or any book for that matter because books are magic!
Getting your child to go potty before leaving the house will be an ongoing battle long after the potty training days are over. I used to say things like, âIf you donât try to go potty, then Iâll have to take away your unicorn stuffie!â Now I say, âLetâs try to go potty like Daniel Tiger does before he goes anywhere.â The book is based on an episode, complete with sing-songy lyricsâand it just works.

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.Â

Brandon Wilson is an author, photographer, explorer, and pilgrim. He is a voracious explorer of nearly one hundred countries, he has trekked many pilgrimage trails, including: the Camino de Santiago, Camino Catalan, Camino AragonĂŠs and Via de la Plata across Spain, and twice the St. Olavâs Way across Norway and Sweden. Brandon and his wife Cheryl were the first Western couple to complete the 1100-kilometer pilgrim trail from Lhasa, Tibet to Kathmandu, and he was the first American to traverse the 1850-kilometer Via Francigena from England to Rome. In 2006, he and his French friend re-blazed the 4500-kilometer route of the First Crusades from France to Jerusalem, naming it the Templar Trail, to establish it as a path of peace.
Peace Pilgrim was a true modern pioneer. For nearly thirty years, starting in 1953, she devoted her life to international peace, as she crisscrossed America on foot with her few belongings on her back, "Walking until given shelter and fasting until given food.â At a time when American school kids were hiding under their desks in fear of a nuclear attack, Peace Pilgrim bravely âwalked the talkâ about unabashedly spoke about the necessity of peace, a message which inspired generations.
Peace Pilgrim walked and spoke continuously across America from 1953 until her death in 1981. "Walking until given shelter and fasting until given food," she carried a simple yet powerfully enduring message of peace. A few of her friends later gathered her writings and talks into this first-person account of her experiences and beliefs. Peace Pilgrim has become a spiritual classic, with over half a million copies in print in nine languages. Includes news clippings, questions and answers, photographs, index.

Between us, weâve been in the interreligious relations business for a combined 50 years. We started working together when Jerry was Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under President Barack Obama. In 2015, we were both invited by Prince Ghazi of Jordan to join other interreligious leaders to advance a UN resolution defining and taking a stand against religicide. That resolution never made it to the Security Council. But we joined forces to sound the alarm about religicide. We wrote our book in the hope of inspiring an international campaign to end this killing in the name of God â or being killed because of your God.
With all that has been written about religion as a cause of violence, here are two volumes of case studies about how religion is used by individuals on the ground to stop violence. The case studies feature the heroic individuals in the Peacemakers in Action Network of the Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding. They operate in conflict zones around the world and this book reveals the methods and techniques they use to transform conflicts. I founded Tanenbaum in 1992 and this signature program was inspired and guided by the late Ambassador Richard Holbrooke.
Every day, men and women risk their lives to stop violence in religiously charged conflicts around the world. You may not know their names - but you should. Peacemakers in Action, Volume 2 provides a window into the triumphs, risks, failures, and lessons learned of eight remarkable, religiously motivated peacemakers including: * A Methodist bishop in the Democratic Republic of the Congo who confronts armed warlords on his front lawn * A Christian who travels to Syria to coordinate medical aid and rebuild postwar communities * A Muslim woman, not knowing how Kabul's imams will react, arrives to train themâŚ
