"The Good Neighbor" is a must-read for anyone who has ever held an interest in the life of Fred Rogers. This book does a deep dive into Rogers' history, as well as the history of children's television, his relationships with other people, his passions, and his influences.

The important message I took away from this book was that Mr. Rogers was the real deal, and as genuine a person as he seemed. What was also worth noting is that he was a real person with doubts and flaws, but those only served to humanize him and remind me that living like Mr. Rogers and sharing his message is an attainable goal.
