Description
Reviews
-- Booklist Review "Fred Rogers was everybody's favorite neighbor, but he was also, as he once said of himself, 'a composer, piano player, writer, television producer, performer, husband, and father.' He was an ordained Presbyterian minister, too, and, Tuttle adds in this affectionate biography, 'a man of complexity.'. . . To his often-asked question, 'Won't you be my neighbor?' readers will doubtless offer a resounding 'yes' to both the question and this charming biography." America "Exactly as You Are: The Life and Faith of Mister Rogers will prove of interest to theologians and Gen-Xers alike (and perhaps even to other generations)." Publishers Weekly "Tuttle's satisfying biography provides a keen sense of the deeply religious forces behind a classic TV show and its widely lauded creator." Library Journal (starred review) "An enjoyable biography of a man many people believed they knew from his daily show. This warmly written volume will surely delight his many fans."
