Tana Hoban (February 20, 1917 – January 27, 2006) was an American-born 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 had published 110 books before her death. At the time of her death, she had lived in Paris for the past 23 years.
She was the older sister of writer Russell Hoban.
