Lois Lowry

From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.

Lois Ann Lowry (born March 20, 1937) is a children's author who has written many popular books. She was born Sena Lowry, named for her Norwegian grandmother; hearing of this, her grandmother telegraphed and instructed her parents that the child should have an American name [1] (http://www.loislowry.com/pdf/Richmond_Speech.pdf). (Lois and Ann were the names of her father's sisters.) Her most famous book, The Giver, is popular yet controversial, and it has been banned in some schools.
