Babar and His Children

Reach for this book when your household is anticipating a new arrival or navigating the beautiful, often overwhelming transition from a family of two or three to a larger group.

The story follows King Babar and Queen Celeste as they welcome triplets Pom, Flora, and Alexander, capturing the universal mixture of exhaustion and immense pride that comes with parenthood.

Parents will appreciate the depiction of teamwork between the royal couple and their community, providing a comforting blueprint for how families support one another during big life changes.
