Resumen del Editor

Bringing the lessons of Mister Rogers into the digital age

Playful and practical, When You Wonder, You're Learning introduces a new generation of families to the lessons of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. By exploring the science behind the iconic television program, the book reveals what Fred Rogers called the “tools for learning”: skills and mindsets that scientists now consider essential. These tools - curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and more - have been shown to boost everything from academic learning to children’s well-being, and they benefit kids of every background and age. They cost next to nothing to develop, and they hinge on the very things that make life worthwhile: self-acceptance; close, loving relationships; and a deep regard for one’s neighbor.

When You Wonder, You're Learning shows parents and educators the many ways they might follow in Rogers’ footsteps, sharing his “tools for learning” with digital-age kids. With insights from thinkers, scientists, and teachers - many of whom worked with Rogers himself - the book is an essential exploration into how kids and their parents can excel at what Rogers taught best: being human.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"If you learned about life from Fred Rogers’ example, the better off you are. His beloved Neighborhood was a place of curiosity and kindness, of simple joys found in a complicated, yet safe world. Each of us has a role to play in building Neighborhoods of our own. What Behr and Rydzewski have done here is bring Fred Rogers' essential humanity down to earth. That is a gift for all in the Neighborhood." (Tom Hanks, Academy Award-winning actor and star of A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood)

"In an era of polarization, distrust, and despair, the resilience of children stands as a universal beacon of hope for a new, better society. Fred Rogers understood our obligation to nourish that spark of imagination, kindness, and community, and When You Wonder, You’re Learning distills how each of us can continue those efforts. Whether you are a parent, a caregiver, a teacher, or a neighbor, authors Behr and Rydzewski have penned a necessary primer on how to cultivate awe-inspiring kids capable of being more than we imagine." (Stacey Abrams, politician, activist, and author)

"One of the first things people wonder about Fred Rogers is whether he could possibly be as kind and warm in person as he seemed to be on television. When they learn that he was all those things and more, their response almost always gives way to reverence - for the person who liked them exactly as they were. When You Wonder, You're Learning is an essential exploration of how Rogers designed his most remarkable, enduring gift: the Neighborhood's unconditional insistence on humanity, its dignity, and its worth." (Morgan Neville, Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker and director of Won't You Be My Neighbor?)

Excellent book

It was a great listen. It was interesting to what the authors had to say about Mr Roger’s.

Inspirational and meditative

Learned about this book on The Daily Stoic and I am so glad I picked up the audiobook. I am on a journey to be more present with my family and this has been an excellent guide.

Insights into learning for all ages

A wonderfully narrated version of Gregg Behr and Ryan Rydzewski's terrific book. This is a must listen/read for parents and educators, and - frankly - anyone trying to knit back together the fabric of our society.
