"I draw and paint to illustrate the books I write, and in sketchbooks when I travel to faraway places. In recent years I’ve made my own sketchbooks. Why do I do this? And how do I do it? How do I decide what to draw--and which pens and pencils to draw with? This book aims to answer these questions and others. It’s also the story of my life." - Nancy Patz

The Elephant with a Knot in His Trunk

Kofi, a young elephant, was born with a knot in his trunk. His disability keeps him from eating, drinking, and trumpeting as other elephants do. His peers bully him, and Kofi feels isolated and inadequate. When he discovers Big Ebo, the meanest bully, caught in a whirlpool, he faces a challenging decision. Should he attempt to rescue the bully? Can succeed? Should he even try? 
As in her other award-winning books, Patz's lively watercolor and pencil paintings show clearly the emotions of the characters and bring Kofi's story to life.
