Lois Lowry (March 20, 1973, Honolulu, Hawaii) is an American children's literature writer, best known for her work The Giver. Born into a family of Norwegian and German origin, her childhood was marked by constant relocations due to her father's military career, which led her to live in places as diverse as New York, Pennsylvania, or Japan. From a very young age, Lowry showed a passion for reading and writing, and knew early on that she wanted to be an author.

Lowry studied at Brown University, although she interrupted her studies to get married and start a family. Later, she resumed her education and earned a bachelor's degree in English literature from the University of Southern Maine in 1972.

She began her career as a photographer and freelance journalist in the 1970s. Her work caught the attention of Houghton Mifflin, who encouraged her to write her first children's book. Author of more than 30 books for young readers including "The Giver" and "A Summer to Die". She has received numerous awards, including the prestigious Newbery Medal for The Giver. She lives between Cambridge and an old farm in Maine.
