Author Notes:	Mary Ann Hoberman (1930-2023) was a New York Times bestselling author, former children's poet laureate, and winner of the National Book Award who wrote more than fifty books. How Elegant the Elephant reflects three of Mary Ann's lifelong passions: a love of animals, respect for the natural world, and the joy of wordplay. Her many notable works include the classic picture book A House Is a House for Me ; the poetry collections Away with Words! , Forget-Me-Nots , and The Llama Who Had No Pajama ; and the You Read to Me, I'll Read to You series.

Marla Frazee has written and illustrated many acclaimed books for children, including the Caldecott Honor Books In Every Life , All the World (written by Liz Garton Scanlon), and A Couple of Boys Have the Best Week Ever . Her picture book The Boss Baby is the inspiration for two DreamWorks animated feature films and a TV series. She's thrilled to be illustrating another book by Mary Ann Hoberman after their collaboration on The Seven Silly Eaters , a book that has delighted many families over the years. Marla has three grown sons, two grandsons, a Little Free Library in her front yard, and a studio under an avocado tree in her backyard in Pasadena, California.
