An Afternoon With Lois Lowry, presented by Seattle Arts & Lectures March 15, 2008

Two-time Newberry Medal winner, for Number the Stars (1990) and The Giver (1994), Lois Lowrey is the prolific author of more than 30 books for children and young adults. The trials and triumphs of such characters as Anastasia and Sam Krupnik and Gooney Bird Greene have helped kids navigate their own lives since 1979. As Lowry has noted, "My books have varied in content and style. Yet it seems that all of them deal, essentially, with the same general theme: the importance of human connections."
