Lois Lowry
Teasing's part of the fun that comes before kissing
Lois Lowry
Gathering Blue' was a separate book. I wanted to explore what a society might become after a catastrophic world event. Only at the end did I realize I could make it connect to 'The Giver.
Lois Lowry
Reading is the most important way to prepare for life.
Lois Lowry
I don't know what you mean when you say 'the whole world' or 'generations before him.'I thought there was only us. I thought there was only now.
Lois Lowry
Fear dims when you learn things.
Lois Lowry

Lois Lowry
