I send hugs and tears. Will miss you and your shining presence.

And Eliza–big shoes, of course. But as you were handpicked and well taught, I have no doubt you will do the job with elan and joy.

One thing for sure, you set up a spectacular store and your legacy there is in the great people you hired and trained to keep it up now that you’ve moved on. We–the local authors and illustrators, the shoppers at the Carle, and your friends–wish you the best of everything at Bank Street. They are truly lucky to get you!

We’ll miss seeing him there, but are glad to know that whenever we are in NY we can see him at Bank Street, where we know he’ll do a fabulous job. We wish him great success there. And Eliza, your tribute to Andy is wonderful. Best of luck to you as well. We’ll be seeing you at the Carle on May 6th!

He and Mr. Juster both said things during that interview that made me laugh and cry, made me remember the joys and frustrations of being a smart, daydreaming child, and inform my interactions with the children I assist in selecting books in my work as a bookseller. I will always be grateful I went to the museum that morning. I intend to see Andy soon at Bank Street Books!

Good luck in NYC to Andy, and good luck to Eliza, maybe we’ll see you on our next visit!

I live in California and during my visit to bookstore, Andy helped me choose amazing books for my classroom. Thank you for making a visitor feel welcomed.

What an unbelievably sweet essay. Thank you so much. I know that with your creativity and love of children’s books that store is going to be vibrant and thrilling. I look forward to visiting frequently. I am also planning to bring you customers: I want to create a bookstore tour operation out of Bankstreet Bookstore here in NYC so customers here can see what’s happening in the Valley. There’s no place like The Carle.

You show so many reasons Andy will be missed. Best wishes for all of you in carrying on!
