Trivia

  • In 2015 she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. In March 2017, she announced that she was terminally ill with ovarian cancer by way of a New York Times Modern Love essay, written in the form of a dating profile to help her husband date again once she dies. The article was picked up by several news sources and quickly went viral online.

  • She was a prolific writer, publishing more than 30 children's books between 2005 and her death in 2017. She is the only author to have three children's books make the Best Children's Books for Family Literacy list in the same year.
  • Rosenthal has written 28 spirited children's picture books, two quirky, poignant memoirs ("Textbook Amy Krouse Rosenthal," in 2016, and an alphabetized "Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life," in 2005); delivered TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) Talks and NPR commentaries; and produced short films and YouTube videos of what she called social experiments, with titles like "ATM: Always Trust Magic," "The Money Tree" and "The Beckoning of Lovely.".
