He was a pioneer in children's television, an advocate for families, and a multimedia artist and performer. He wrote the television scripts and music, performed puppetry, sang, hosted, and directed \u003ci\u003eMister Rogers' Neighborhood\u003c\/i\u003e for more than thirty years. In his almost nine hundred episodes, Rogers pursued dramatic topics: divorce, death, war, sibling rivalry, disabilities, racism. Rogers' direct, slow, gentle, and empathic approach is supported by his superior emotional strength, his intellectual and creative courage, and his joyful spiritual confidence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Green Mister Rogers: Environmentalism in \"Mister Rogers' Neighborhood\" \u003c\/i\u003ecenters on the show's environmentalism, primarily expressed through his themed week \"Caring for the Environment,\" produced in 1990 in coordination with the twentieth anniversary of Earth Day. Unfolding against a trash catastrophe in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Rogers advances an environmentalism for children that secures children in their family homes while extending their perspective to faraway places, from the local recycling center to Florida's coral reef. Rogers depicts animal wisdom and uses puppets to voice anxiety and hope and shows an interconnected world where each part of creation is valued, and love is circulated in networks of care. Ultimately, Rogers cultivates a practical wisdom that provides a way for children to confront the environmental crisis through action and hope and, in doing so, develop into adults who possess greater care for the environment and a capacious imagination for solving the ecological problems we face.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sara Lindey, Jason King\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496838661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496838667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/25\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2023 pg. 92","brand":"Sara Lindey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054811934975,"sku":"9781496838667","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_16da48d6-db81-4f3c-991a-c0e46614554f.jpg?v=1685032138","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-green-mister-rogers-sara-lindey-9781496838667","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
