The classic series started as a bedtime story first invented and told by Laurent’s mother, Cécile de Brunhoff, and was later illustrated in book form by his father, Jean de Brunhoff (1899-1937). Jean de Brunhoff’s The Story of Babar, was published in 1931. After completing only six books, Jean died in 1937 and Laurent, then only 13 years old, colored and designed the cover illustration for the publication of his father’s seventh and last book. Laurent lived in Paris, working as an abstract painter. In 1946, at the age of 21, Laurent brought Babar back to life in his own first Babar book, Babar’s Cousin: That Rascal Arthur..<br><br> Laurent has since written and illustrated more than 50 Babar books, which have become global cultural phenomenon. His most recent book is Babar in Paris, which was published in 2017.
