We welcome you to be a part of an exciting, upcoming project—fully funded by The Patterson Foundation—featuring the book, When You Wonder, You’re Learning – Mister Rogers’ Enduring Lessons for Raising Creative, Curious, Caring Kids by Gregg Behr & Ryan Rydzewski.
Playful and practical, When You Wonder, You’re Learning shows parents, educators, and neighbors 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, the book explores how kids and their parents can excel at what Mister Rogers taught best: being human.
The When You Wonder, You’re Learning Book Circle Project will kick off September 13 and 14 with a visit to the Suncoast by co-author Ryan Rydzewski. The Patterson Foundation has planned six events featuring Ryan, and we’d love you to attend one.
Book circles consist of at least (6) individuals coming together for (4) engaging meet-ups between September 12 and January 25 to investigate curiosity, belonging, and joy.
When you register, The Patterson Foundation is going to add even more sparkle!
