Andrew Jessup by Nette Hilton
Illustrated by Cathy Wilcox. 32p., Ticknor & Fields, 1992. When your best friend moves away, things will never be the same - but things could still be good. In this story, a girl's best friend, Andrew Jessup, moves away from his house next door. She remembers all the fun they used to have together, and she misses him. His house stays empty for a long time, but finally Madeleine and her family move in. Although Madeleine doesn't like all of the things Andrew liked, she and the girl find ways to have fun together. They even enjoy some of the activities the girl used to enjoy with Andrew. The girl finds she can make room in her life for both her new friend Madeleine and her best faraway friend Andrew. Charmingly illustrated with expressive watercolors, this story offers empathy and hope for children whose best friend moves away. Ages 3-7
