He turned it into a picture book, with text, and was published by a family-run publishing house, Le jardin des modes. Originally, it was planned that the book's title page would describe the story as told by Jean and Cécile de Brunhoff. However, she had her name removed; according to her son Mathieu, this was due to modesty, and her opinion that her contribution was minor. Because of the role she played in the genesis of the Babar story, many sources continue to refer to her as the creator of the Babar story. Her husband Jean went on to write and illustrate six more Babar children's books made the series popular worldwide. Her son Laurent de Brunhoff carried on the family tradition of writing and illustrating the Babar books. (en)
