Tuck Everlasting, published in 1975, was named an ALA Notable book and continues to be popular with teachers.

She was a writer, known for Tuck Everlasting (2002), The Eyes of the Amaryllis (1982) and The Eyes Of The Amaryllis. She was married to Samuel Fisher Babbitt.
In 1982, another Times reviewer, George Woods, enjoyed Babbitt's Herbert Rowbarge. "Mrs. Babbitt creates a plausible world and peoples it with believable humans, but the most satisfaction comes from the pleasure of her company as she effortlessly takes the reader in velvet-gloved hand to point out life's coincidences and near misses."
In 1977, The New York Times called Babbitt "Indisputably one of our most gifted and ambitious writers for children".
With the novel Goody Hall (1971), the writer was a finalist in the Edgar Allan Poe Award.
The Babbitts collaborated to create The Forty-ninth Magician, a picture book, that he wrote and she illustrated, published by Pantheon Books in 1966. Samuel became too busy to participate but editor Michael di Capua, at Farrar, Strauss, and Giroux, encouraged Natalie to continue producing children's books. After writing and illustrating two short books in verse, she turned to children's novels, and her fourth effort in that vein, Knee-Knock Rise, was awarded a Newbery Honor in 1971.
Natalie Babbitt was born on July 28, 1932 in Dayton, Ohio, USA as Natalie Zane Moore.
