A FEW NOTES ABOUT THE AUTHOR
LOWRY, LOIS (1937-). Lois Lowry is the author of over twenty juvenile novels, and has contributed
stories, articles, and photographs to many leading periodicals. Her literary awards are numerous and
extensive. She once said that she gauges her success as a writer by her ability to "help adolescents answer
their own questions about life, identity, and human relationships."
Lois Lowry was born on March 20, 1937, in Honolulu, Hawaii. At the time of her birth, Lowry's father,
Robert, a career army dentist and officer, was stationed near Pearl Harbor. The family separated with the
onset of World War II, and Lowry spent the duration of the war with her mother's family in the Amish
country of Pennsylvania. Much later, Lowry's wartime experience inspired her fourth novel, Autumn
Street. As an author, she has often translated her life into fiction for the purpose of helping others who may
have suffered under similar circumstances.
Memories of her childhood, as well as her experiences as a parent, have led Lowry to her most popular
character, Anastasia Krupnik, the spunky, rebellious, and irreverent adolescent who stars in a series of
books that began in 1979. The broad audience appeal of the first Anastasia book prompted Lowry to
write another novel featuring her heroine, "I have the feeling she's going to go on forever--or until I get sick
of her, which hasn't happened yet." Subsequent Anastasia titles number nine at the current time.
In 1990- Lowry received her highest honors. She was awarded the Newbery Medal, National Jewish
Book Award, and Sidney Taylor Award from the National Jewish Libraries, all for her World War II tale
of Nazi-occupied Denmark, Number the Stars. In this novel she created suspense and tension without
wavering from the viewpoint of Annemarie, a child who shows the true meaning of courage. Based on a
factual account, the inspiration for this novel came from the stories told to Lowry by a friend who was
herself a child in Copenhagen during the long years of the German occupation. In 1994, she was again
awarded the Newbery Medal for The Giver.
With so many accomplishments in the field of children's literature to her credit, Lowry reflects on her career
in the following manner: "When I write, I draw a great deal from my own past. There is a satisfying sense
of continuity, for me, in the realization that my own experiences, fictionalized, touch young readers in subtle
and very personal ways." Ms. Lowry divides her time between Boston and New Hampshire.
