Among her many works are "Mon Larousse" a dictionary for youngest readers, "Le Livre de la Langue Francaise" (The Book of the French Language) published by Gallimard and "Paris-Pékin par le Transsibérien" (Paris-Pekin by the |

Transiberian), which she illustrated and co-wrote with her husband, a mathematician, after an inspirational family trip. Agnes happens to be an expert on the poem's of France's illustrious poet, Arthur Rimbaud, and her work has been published in several professional journals.
Agnès is most well-known for her young heroine, Mimi Cracra, which has appeared in over 100 books and pamphlets and has inspired a French television series. Rosenstiehl's books have been translated into eight languages, including Japanese and Chinese. Silly Lilly and the Four Seasons is Mimi Cracra’s English language début, in a book especially conceived for the TOON Books collection.
Between Agnes and her husband they have seven children and fifteen grandchildren. They live in a country house with a garden, hidden in the center of Paris. |
