What if I'd drawn ... Babar?

Click to Embiggen

I've had an idea knocking around in my head. What would my childhood favorites look like if I'd (gone back in time as the illustrator I am now and) drawn them?

Babar Loses His Crown was in my top five books as a kid. The mystery of the mustached man. The deadline of finding his crown. All is lost, and .... !

Even today, Laurent de Brunhoff's Babar holds a special place for me.

I'd love to spend some more time with him--put him in an environment. With what has to be done this week, I won't get the chance.
