   Extractions: Go Directly to Lois Lowry, author of the 1994 Newbery Medal for The Giver and the 1990 Newbery Medal for Number the Stars, was born March 20, 1937 in Honolulu, Hawaii. During World War II, while her father, an Army officer and dentist, was away, Lois stayed with her mother's family in Amish country in Pennsylvania. She married Donald Lowry on June 11, 1956 (they divorced in 1977) and has four children: Alix, Grey, Kristin, and Benjamin. She attended Brown University from 1954 to 1956, and in 1972 received her BA from the University of Southern Maine. She now lives in West Cambridge with her dog Bandit and spends weekends in New Hampshire. Lowry's thoughts on winning the Newbery Medal a second time: "When my book, The Giver, was awarded the 1994 Newbery Medal, I said to my editor, Walter Lorraine, that I thought perhaps they should limit that award, make it a one-time thing, because there are so many good booksand good authorsout there. It didn't seem fair that one person should receive it twice. It was Walter who pointed out to me that the medal is given to a book, not a person. I like keeping that in mind." >From "Happy Seventy-Fifth Birthday, Newbery Award! Newbery Authors Share Their Thoughts," by Ramona Nolen Kerby

   Lois Lowry. From the time I was eight or nine, I wanted to be a writer. TwotimeNewbery Medal winner Lois Lowry was born in Honolulu, Hawaii.  
   http://www.kidsreads.com/authors/au-lowry-lois.asp
   
   Extractions: I was a solitary child, born the middle of three, who lived in the world of books and my own imagination. There are some children, and I was this kind of child, who are introverts and love to read who prefer to curl up with a book than to hang out with friends or play at the ball field. Children like that begin to develop a feeling for language and for story. And that was true for me that's how I became a writer. My books have varied in content and in style. Yet it seems to me that all of them deal, essentially, with the same general theme: the importance of human connections. A Summer to Die , my first book, is a fictionalized retelling of the early death of my sister, and of the effect of such a loss on a family. Number the Stars , set in a different culture and era, tells of the same things: the role that we humans play in the lives of our fellow beings. The Giver takes place against the background of yet another very different culture and time. Though broader in scope than my earlier books, it nonetheless speaks to the same concern: the vital need for humans to be aware of their interdependence, not only with each other, but with the world and its environment.

    Extractions: Whether she's writing comedy, adventure, or poignant, powerful dramafrom Attaboy, Sam! and Anastasia Krupnik to Number the Stars and The Giver Lois Lowry's appeal is as broad as her subject matter, and as deep as her desire to affect an eager generation of readers. An author who is "fast becoming the Beverly Cleary for the upper middle graders" ( The Horn Book ), Lois Lowry has written over twenty books for young adults and is a two-time Newbery Medal winner. Lois Lowry didn't start writing professionally until she was in her mid-30's. Now she spends time writing every single day. Before she begins writing a book, she usually knows the beginning and the end of her story. When she's not writing, Lowry enjoys gardening during the spring and summer and knitting during the writer. One of her other hobbies is photography, and her own photos grace the covers of her award-winning books Number the Stars and The Giver . Lowry is not overly-athletic and finds writing "easier than skiing or playing tennis." In fact, she was once a contestant on "Jeopardy!" but missed the last questionin the category of sports.
