Hello neighbor! I am extremely excited because my next book, Kindness and Wonder: Why Mister Rogers Matters Now More Than Ever, is being published one week from today by Dey St., on October 29. I wanted to share another early review, from the good people at Library Journal: “This engaging, perceptive narrative examines the show, its popularity, its long-term cultural impact, and the criticisms it received when it was broadcast,” Carol J. Binkowski writes. “All readers will find inspiration in this uplifting book, particularly in today’s complex world.”

And I will be doing a few readings and signings for the book the first week it’s out! I may add some more appearances, but for the time being I’ll be staying close to home: that means that if you live in North Carolina, you’re in luck.

If you are nowhere near North Carolina and you’d really love a signed copy of Kindness and Wonder, I suggest calling up one of the above three bookstores before my signing and asking if you can purchase a book to be signed and/or inscribed by me and then have the store ship it to you. My guess is that they’d be delighted to help you out.

And if you are in North Carolina, I hope to see you at one (or more) of those events! Come say howdy (and bring along everyone you know)!
