This Valentine’s Day, multi-Grammy Award-winning and multi-platinum pop artist Jason Mraz brings his signature sound to the hit television series for preschoolers, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood! “You Are Special,” an all-new episode of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood premieres nationally on PBS KIDS, Thursday, February 14 (check local listings).
Children’s television visionary Fred Rogers has long been an inspiration to Mraz, who even performs the theme from the beloved Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood at some of his concerts. Now, with the upcoming special episode of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood,
Mraz will help bring Rogers’ timely message of love and acceptance to a
new generation of preschoolers and families nationwide! The
world-renowned musician has recorded the opening and closing tunes –
“It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” and “It’s Such a Good
Feeling” – classic songs penned and originally performed by Rogers
himself. The (very lovable!) episode also features a sweet strategy for
young viewers, one that was near and dear to Rogers’ own heart: “I like
you just the way you are.”
We
invite you to share the love and celebrate the important message of
this extra-adorable show with the little ones in your life via these fun
tips inspired by Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood and the new episode, “You Are Special”:

someone who is important to them. It can be a relative, teacher, friend

the classic “You are Special” tune and invite them to sing it to an
