New York Times bestseller: "A superb, thoughtful biography" of the creator and star of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood (David McCullough).
The accessible and definitive biography of Fred Rogers―children’s television pioneer and American cultural icon whose work brought a new emotional depth to the medium and helped children face complex issues such as divorce, discipline, mistakes, anger, and competition.
As the creator and star of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, Fred Rogers was a singular presence on television, devoted to speaking directly to children and taking their questions about the world seriously, often in ways that ran counter to the conventions of the medium.
Drawing on original interviews, oral histories, and extensive archival research, Maxwell King builds a detailed portrait of Rogers’s personal, professional, and creative life, as well as the decisions and ideas that shaped his groundbreaking program.
The Good Neighbor offers a clear and lasting account of how Rogers worked, what he believed, and why his approach continues to resonate with audiences today.
“King is a skilled storyteller. . . . In today’s ugly climate, full of bitterness and rage on all sides, Rogers’s example feels more necessary than ever.” ―Washington Post
