Lois Ann Lowry (born March 20, 1937) is a popular children's author from the United States. She was born in Hawaii to an army family, who named her "Sena" for her Norwegian grandmother; hearing of this, her grandmother telegraphed and instructed her parents that the child should have an American name. (Lois and Ann were the names of her father's sisters.) Her most famous book, The Giver, is popular yet controversial, and it has been banned in some schools.
