"And he sailed off through night and day..." Rembering Maurice Sendak

I'm sure by now you have all heard of the sad news that children's book creator Maurice Sendak passed yesterday at the age of 83. Maurice Sendak changed the face of 20th century picture book, most notably with his Caldecott-winning Where the Wild Things Are, a book that is now a staple in every children's bookstore and cherished so deeply in so many homes around the world. We honor him here at The Carle every day in our logo and remember The Carle's inaugural exhibit of Maurice Sendak's artwork in our galleries. READ MORE

We are so excited to announce that Andy will now be the manager of Bank Street Bookstore in New York City and we wish him the best of luck in his new adventures in his new city. READ MORE
