{"product_id":"2940013938298","title":"I'm Proud of You","description":"It began as another newspaper assignment, a celebrity profile of the children’s television icon. But in Fred Rogers, Texas journalist Tim Madigan found more than a fascinating subject. From their first meeting in 1995, at Rogers’ invitation, the two became unlikely friends, a deep and abiding relationship that lasted until Rogers’ death in 2003.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn that time, Madigan found Rogers to be much more than the calm and compassionate personality of television. He was a person of unique human greatness who embodied love, compassion and wisdom his every waking moment. He was the transcendent being who guided Madigan through periods of life-threatening depression and the tragic death of a sibling and helped him heal his difficult relationship with his father.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI’m Proud of You reveals Fred Rogers as a person who deserves a place among history’s greatest people. It chronicles male friendship at its finest and most powerful. And it is a book that has already brought hope and inspiration to many thousands of its readers. With this second edition, including a new afterword by the author, the inspiration continues.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Fred comes to life in I'm Proud of You, with his simple goodness etched on every page, and his compli¬cated greatness etched in the heart of every reader who fin¬ishes the book and decides to become a better person.\"—Tom Junod, writer at large for Esquire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A loving testament to the power of friendship and to a most remarkable man.”  --The Boston Sunday Globe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“I’m Proud of You will connect with the same audience that loved Mitch Albom’s Tuesdays with Morrie and its celebration of male mentoring and friendship.” – USA Today\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A poignant, inspiring account…” – Minneapolis Star-Tribune","brand":"Ubuntu Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152826614000,"sku":"2940013938298","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013938298_p0.jpg?v=1763597562","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013938298","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
