We plan to have sections on Love & amp; Friendship, Individuality, and Community. The book will convey the fact that Fred Rogers was deeply intelligent about human nature, no matter the age of his listener. In speeches, transcripts, and interviews, Fred Rogers exposed his true self in order to help us understand that there is much more that unites us than divides us.

They, along with other never-before-published material from interviews and behind-the-scenes in the neighborhood, as well as excerpts from You Are Special will comprise the book.
