Lois Lowry with Anna Holmes and Lizzie Skurnick
Sorry!
No performances are currently available.
All of Lois Lowry’s novels focus on one central theme: the importance of human connections.
With this theme as a guide, Lois Lowry has written books that have influenced generations of readers, teaching them about complex issues such as racism, terminal illness and the Holocaust. On the release of Son, the fourth book in The Giver quartet, Lois Lowry joins Anna Holmes and Lizzie Skurnick in conversation about her life and career and the impact she has had on a generation of young adult readers who she taught, through her books, to question authority and who are now all grown up.
