(4) PS Illustrated by Eliza Wheeler. "This is the Baby / wrinkled and gray. / This is the Baby / born today." Lilting verses celebrate the birth of an elephant, noting the welcoming herd and natural environment awaiting it. With dip pens, India ink, and watercolor, Wheeler warmly if anthropomorphically captures the affectionate creatures amid India's flora and fauna. The Indian American author adds a note about conservation and her connection with elephants.
