Hello neighbors! I’m very excited to share Kindness and Wonder: Why Mister Rogers Matters Now More Than Ever with you. I am forced, however, to wait until the end of the month; it goes on sale on October 29th, exactly four weeks from today. (Click here for information on places where you can buy it and preorder it.) Until that happy day comes, can I direct your attention to a couple of early press notices?

USA Today included Kindness and Wonder in their recent preview of “This autumn’s must=read books,” alongside heavy hitters such as Ta-Nehisi Coates, John Le Carré, and Elton John. They write, “This book pays tribute to the man who helped raise so many of us, and argues the case that his wisdom is more essential than ever.”

And Publishers Weekly gave the book its first official review, a glowing notice: “Edwards (The Tao of Bill Murray) affectionately captures the spirit of Fred Rogers (1928–2003) in a crisply told biography that focuses on the enduring lessons Rogers shared with his viewers…. Edwards’s enthusiastic prose vibrantly captures Rogers’s spirit and wisdom.”

More news soon!
