Though he was often sick and had trouble making friends as a child, his mom and grandfather encouraged him to ask for help and explore the world.

As he grew up, he realized he could spread the message of compassion, equality, and kindness through television. You Are My Friend is a gentle homage to Fred Rogers and shows how his simple message still resonates with us today: “There’s no person in the world like you and I like you just the way you are.” The book also includes a short biography of Fred Rogers’ life and a bibliography.“A simply written, thoughtful tribute worthy of the incomparable Mister Rogers.” ?Kirkus ReviewsThis is a work of fiction.
