In the tradition of The World According to Mister Rogers, a timeless collection of wisdom on life, friendship, individuality, creativity, collaboration, and morefrom Jim Henson and Friends There are few things that evoke such a universal feeling of warmth and humor as the work of Jim Henson. In his own words, as well as those of some of his best-known characters like Kermit the Frog and Ernie, well get a glimpse of the philosophy and humor that was so essential to Jims creations. Well also get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the collaborative spirit of this gentle artistic genius from the people Jim knew, loved, and inspired. This uplifting collection of quotes, stories, anecdotes, songs, and insights gives new life to Jims magical world. With chapters titled Dynamite Determination; Listen to Your Heart; Together We Can Do It; It Starts When Were Kids; and A Part of Everything and Everyone, Its Not Easy Being Green is by turns entertaining, inspiring, and laugh-out-loud funny, reminding us that every day counts. Readers young and old will cherish this collection.

Great little book to keep in the car, at your desk, in your book bag, or nightstand. Easy to open it up, read a page or two, then continue in a great mood. Good times!

I've always loved Kermit, because he the first in the line of Shinge to which I belong. We Shinge --- Korean for spiritfrog --- have a special relation to the earth. We are green in an absolutely perfect sense. Apart from my other favorite author, the German poet/philosopher Friedrich Hoelderlin (look for his novel "Hyperion"), no one expresses such a profound understanding of and sense of connection with nature as Kermit the Frog. My only objection --- not so much to this book as to Kermit himself --- is that I don't think his hands and feet are as perfect as they could be.
