Wayne County Reads 2024 has selected "Kindness and Wonder" by 加文·爱德华兹 as the inspiration for this year's theme. The program pays tribute to Fred Rogers, a man who embodied the best of humanity and the beautiful neighborhood he created through a variety of events during the month of September. Come join us, Neighbors!
Kindness and Wonder by
For more than thirty years, Fred Rogers was a beloved fixture in American homes. Warm and welcoming, he spoke directly to children--and their parents--about the marvels of the world, the things that worried them, 最重要的是, the importance of being themselves. Dressed in his cardigan and sneakers, Fred Rogers offered a wholesome message of generosity and love that changed the landscape of television and shaped a generation of children. Kindness and Wonder pays tribute to this cultural icon: the unique, gentle man who embodied the best of what we could be. Looking back at the history of the show and the creative visionary behind it, pop culture aficionado 加文·爱德华兹 reminds us of the indelible lessons and insights that Mister Rogers conveyed--what it means to be a good person, to be open-hearted, 深思熟虑, 要有好奇心, to be compassionate--and why they matter. Beautifully crafted, infused with Mister Rogers' gentle spirit, and featuring dozens of interviews with people whose lives were touched by Fred Rogers--ranging from Rita Moreno to NFL Hall of Famer Lynn Swann--Kindness and Wonder is a love letter to this unforgettable cultural hero and role model, and the beautiful neighborhood he created.

无所畏惧 by
Based on twelve years of research, thought leader Dr. 布朗布琳 argues that vulnerability is not weakness, but rather our clearest path to courage, 订婚, and meaningful connection.
"Every day we experience the uncertainty, 风险, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable, or to dare greatly. Whether the arena is a new relationship, an important meeting, our creative process, or a difficult family conversation, we must find the courage to walk into vulnerability and engage with our whole hearts. In 无所畏惧, Dr. Brown challenges everything we think we know about vulnerability. Based on twelve years of research, she argues that vulnerability is not weakness, but rather our clearest path to courage, 订婚, and meaningful connection. The book that Dr. Brown's many fans have been waiting for, 无所畏惧 will spark a new spirit of truth--and trust--in our organizations, 家庭, 学校, 和社区."--Publisher's description.
