Book Review: "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" By Fred Rogers

There is nothing more meaningful than hearing how empathy, compassion, and love can unite and lead a nation.

The feeling you get when listening to Fred Rogers is one of complete comfort that propels readers to be moved to a higher plane in adjusting one's current state of being.

As I sit here in a structured state, forced into a stay at home order, unable to fully appreciate life it's a time to not only reflect but become re-connected to all that once brought happiness and smiles.

Fred is that person who never took the easy way but instead enlightened audiences of all ages to leading life in a more balanced and structured way.

This pandemic has brought back so much of what may have been once lost and in that way it's a blessing as it opens up an entire new way of thinking but also of being.

The audio book was a special treat because it shows his mindset at a time that may have been less hectic but also less violent.

While threats, intimidation, fear, bullying, intimidation and more are a daily offering in today's world -Fred reminds us all- to take a moment to enjoy the view.

Or as Fred notes,"Strengthen a parent and you strengthen a child."

There was so much inspiration, collaboration, and wonderful advice that you can't help but feel more vibrant and colorful at the end of reading this wonderful new work.

Thank you to Bibliotheca for this audio in exchange for this honest review.
