The book is a collection of segments from never-before published speeches and observations from his years of working with parents and children, as well as other materials from books, songs, TV commentary, and more. Using stories from his own life, Rogers discusses the importance of children and the role of parents. Included in the collection: "A lot of the ways that I feel and a lot of the things that I offer have their roots in the care my early caregivers gave to me." "Parents are like shuttles on a loom. They join the threads of the past with the threads of the future and leave their own bright patterns as they go, providing continuity to succeeding ages..." "Those of us who are in this world to educate?to care for?children have a special calling: a calling which has very little to do with the collection of expensive possessions, but has a lot to do with the worth inside of heads and hearts. In fact, that?'s our domain: the heads and hearts of the next generation: the thoughts and feelings of the future."Rogers, Fred is the author of 'Many Ways to Say I Love You Wisdom for Parents And Children from Mister Rogers', published 2006 under ISBN 9781401301705 and ISBN 1401301703.
