Alvina asked Lois Lowry:

if you were "the giver", what The worst part of memories that you hold in your life?

Lois Lowry Like all people of my age, I have painful memories. One of my children died in a plane crash. i still remember every second of the phone call that gave me that news. But it is part of who I am, that memory, that anguish...along with all the happy memories as well.

Daisy asked Lois Lowry:

Hi Lois! I've been a fan of The Giver since I was a teen. My question is, what is the book that you can recommend to young people who are trying to make sense of everything in this world. I went through that as a teen and I would like to help other young people, even in a simple way as to recommend a book. I hope you get to answer this question. Thank you.

One of my favorite books of all time is Number the Stars. What inspired you to write the book from a young girl's perspective, and why not make the main character Jewish?
