Creativity runs in the Rosenthal family—along with humor, warmth, and a deep appreciation for food. Sitting down with LifeMinute’s editor-in-chief Joann Butler, Everybody Loves Raymond creator, Phil Rosenthal and his daughter Lily Rosenthal offer a glimpse into their second children’s book, Just Try It! Someplace New!, a follow-up to their 2024 New York Times bestseller, Just Try It!.

The new book builds on a simple, but powerful message: “Our greatest fear is the unknown,” Phil says—a theme that resonates whether you’re a kid nervous about staying at grandma’s house, or an adult hesitant to step outside your comfort zone. 

Like his hit shows Everybody Loves Raymond and Netflix’s Somebody Feed Phil, the story blends humor with heart and a relatable dose of real-life. Lily, who grew up on the set of Raymond, calls co-authoring with her dad “a dream come true,” while Phil jokes the real win is simply getting to share the experience with his daughter. 

Off the page, their bond extends to food, travel, and even a new family-run diner in Los Angeles, where their love of comfort food comes to life. The duo dish on it all and more. 

This is a LifeMinute with Phil and Lily Rosenthal.
