Author Notes:	Susan Vizurraga once attended an auction at which an older woman was selling off her things before moving to a retirement home. She remembers that it seemed like a happy time, a change in life's stages rather than an ending. Susan is the author of Our Old House , which was named a Notable Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies. She lives in Commerce, Georgia, with her family. Mark Graham is the illustrator of many children's books, including The Dream Jar and Baby Talk . He is currently part of a select group of American artists whose work is exhibited in the new museum of modern art in Rome. Mark lives on a hilltop on Long Island with his family and many animal friends.
