Tana Hoban
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tana Hoban (February 20, 1917 – January 27, 2006) was an author and photographer.
She created children's books out of photos and thereby taught educational concepts such as signs and symbols, the alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors, animals, opposites, sizes and prepositions. Her early books were in black-and-white, but later books are in color. Many of her books are wordless.
She was the older sister of writer Russell Hoban.[1]
