This house--an old one hunkered in the deep grass below a wide country sky--is a waiting house. Once it was full of laughter and song. The sounds of life rang within its walls. Now it stands quiet and still. The house has sheltered many families over the years and remembers them fondly, especially the children. New families arrive to look, but none stay. Perhaps the house, too, now belongs to the Long Ago and Used to Be? Or will the \"right\" family move in to honor its past and build new memories? Wistful and nostalgic, Mary Lyn Ray's poetic text, combined with glowing, pastoral illustrations by E. B. Goodale that capture the lonely house's unique character, create a quietly affecting hymn to hope and surprise that will enchant readers of all ages.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMary Lyn Ray\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of many acclaimed books for children, including \u003ci\u003eGo to Sleep, Little Farm\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Christopher Silas Neal; \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eStars\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Marla Frazee; and \u003ci\u003eThe Thank You Book\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Stephanie Graegin.
