      Early life


      Kate Banks was born on February 13, 1960, in Farmington, Maine. Her father was a history professor at the University of Maine who was killed in a botched robbery in 1979. Banks said that the grief she experienced after her father's murder influenced the themes of her novels.


      Career


      While a student at Wellesley College, Kate Banks applied for an internship at the Atlantic Monthly Press, where she worked for two years in the children's books department. In 1984, she was hired by editor Frances Foster to work as her assistant at Knopf. Banks worked with Foster for five years before leaving to become a writer, with Foster editing her books for the following couple of decades.
      Banks came up with the idea for her first book, Alphabet Soup, while still working with Foster, who encouraged her to write it down and paired the author with Peter Sís, an illustrator looking for work who had just arrived in New York.


      Personal life


      Banks and her husband, Pierluigi Mezzomo, had two sons. They lived in Italy for several years before moving to France.
      Banks lived with several major health issues. She was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome in her twenties and had chronic pain from complications in childbirth. She also had mast cell activation syndrome, which left her unable to pursue treatment for neuroendocrine cancer, which she was diagnosed with in 2022.


      Death


      Banks died through assisted suicide in Basel, Switzerland, on February 24, 2024, at the age of 64.
