Research and write a report on the author
Lois Lowry was born March 20,1937 in Hawaii to parents Robert and Katherine (Landis) Hammers burg. Initially, Lois' parents named her "Sena" for her Norwegian grandmother but upon hearing this, her grandmother telegraphed and instructed Lois' parents that the child should have an American name. Her parents chose the names Lois and Ann, which were the names of her father's sisters.
Lowry was born the middle of three children. She had an older sister, Helen, and a younger brother Jon. Helen, three years older than Lois, died in 1962 at the age of 28. This experience informed Lowry's first book A Summer to Die which is about a young girl who tragically loses her older sister (which is also a subplot of Number the Stars). Lowry's brother Jon is six years younger than her and grew up to be a doctor. He and Lois continue to enjoy a close relationship.

    Dear Jonas ,
Why did you tell people about your dream and why did you want them to change you? Well I thought it was kind of weird that you guys in the little town weren’t aloud to have any dreams about color . Okay that’s just a bit creepy, but I thought what you did for your community...
