Lois Lowry

Whether she’s writing comedy, adventure, or poignant, powerful drama—from 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 grades” (The Horn Book Magazine), Lois Lowry has written more than 50 books for children and young adults and is a two-time Newbery Medal winner.

Lowry was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, and attended junior high school in Tokyo, Japan. At the age of 17, she attended Brown University and majored in writing. She left school at 19, got married, and had four children before her 25th birthday. After some time, she returned to college and received her undergraduate degree from the University of Maine.

Lowry didn’t start writing professionally until she was in her mid-30s. Now she spends time writing every single day. When she’s not writing, Lowry enjoys gardening during the spring and summer and knitting during the winter. One of her other hobbies is photography, and her own photos grace the covers of Number the Stars, The Giver, and Gathering Blue. Lois Lowry has four children and two grandchildren. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.


Ya sea que escriba comedia, aventuras o dramas conmovedores y poderosos, desde ¡Attaboy, Sam! y Anastasia Krupnik hasta ¿Quién cuenta las estrellas? y El dador, el atractivo de Lois Lowry es tan amplio como su temática y tan profundo como su deseo de conmover a una generación entusiasta de lectores. Una autora que se está convirtiendo rápidamente en la Beverly Cleary para los grados intermedios superiores (The Horn Book Magazine), Lois Lowry ha escrito más de 50 libros para niños y jóvenes y ha ganado dos veces la Medalla Newbery.

Lowry nació en Honolulu, Hawái, y asistió a la escuela secundaria en Tokio, Japón. A los 17 años, asistió a la Universidad de Brown y se especializó en escritura. Dejó la escuela a los 19 años, se casó y tuvo cuatro hijos antes de cumplir los 25. Tiempo después, regresó a la universidad y recibió su licenciatura de la Universidad de Maine.

Lowry no empezó a escribir profesionalmente hasta mediados de los 30 años. Ahora dedica tiempo a escribir todos los días. Cuando no está escribiendo, Lowry disfruta de la jardinería durante la primavera y el verano y del tejido durante el invierno. Otra de sus aficiones es la fotografía, y sus propias fotos adornan las portadas de ¿Quién cuenta las estrellas?, El dador y En busca del azul. Lois Lowry tiene cuatro hijos y dos nietos. Vive en Cambridge, Massachusetts.
