As her children became older, Lowry found time to complete her degree in English literature from the University of Southern Maine[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lois_Lowry#cite_note-loislowry.com-5" target="_blank" class="gj_safe_a" style="word-wrap: break-word; outline-style: none; color: rgb(51, 102, 153); text-decoration: underline; ">[6][/url]in Portland in 1972. After earning her B.A., she pursued graduate studies at her alma mater. It was during this coursework that she was introduced to photography, which became a life-long passion as well as a profession. Her specialty was child photography, but she also took pictures to accompany the articles she submitted as a freelance journalist. It was while working on a freelance journalism piece for[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redbook" target="_blank" class="gj_safe_a" style="word-wrap: break-word; outline-style: none; color: rgb(51, 102, 153); text-decoration: underline; ">Redbook[/url]magazine that Lowry got her first book opportunity, when the article she wrote caught the attention of an editor at[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houghton_Mifflin" target="_blank" class="gj_safe_a" style="word-wrap: break-word; outline-style: none; color: rgb(51, 102, 153); text-decoration: underline; ">Houghton Mifflin[/url]publishing. The story Lowry had written for the magazine was meant for adults but was written through the eyes of a child. The editor at Houghton Mifflin recognized an upcoming talent and suggested that Lowry write a children's book. She agreed and wrote[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Summer_to_Die" target="_blank" class="gj_safe_a" style="word-wrap: break-word; outline-style: none; color: rgb(51, 102, 153); text-decoration: underline; ">A Summer to Die[/url]which was published in 1977. As Lowry nurtured her budding careers, she and Donald Lowry found they were no longer compatible; they divorced in 1977 when Lowry was 40 years old. Lowry said the following of these transitional years of her life: "My children grew up in Maine. So did I. I returned to college at the[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Southern_Maine" target="_blank" class="gj_safe_a" style="word-wrap: break-word; outline-style: none; color: rgb(51, 102, 153); text-decoration: underline; ">University of Southern Maine[/url], got my degree, went to graduate school, and finally began to write professionally, the thing I had dreamed of doing since those childhood years when I had endlessly scribbled stories and poems in notebooks."[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lois_Lowry#cite_note-autogenerated1-3" target="_blank" class="gj_safe_a" style="word-wrap: break-word; outline-style: none; color: rgb(51, 102, 153); text-decoration: underline; ">[4][/url]
Writing about both funny things and serious issues has sustained Lois Lowry through her own hard times. Her son Grey was killed in the crash of his fighter plane in 1995. Lowry has acknowledged that this was the most difficult day of her life, but through her steady work as an author, she has persevered. Lowry said, "His death in the cockpit of a warplane tore away a piece of my world. But it left me, too, with a wish to honor him by joining the many others trying to find a way to end conflict on this very fragile earth." Later, Ben and his wife have a baby named Grey Lowry to remember "Zane" Grey for his service to the airforce.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lois_Lowry#cite_note-autogenerated1-3" target="_blank" class="gj_safe_a" style="word-wrap: break-word; outline-style: none; color: rgb(51, 102, 153); text-decoration: underline; ">[4][/url]
Today, Lois Lowry remains active by not only continuing to write and speaking at appearances, but also enjoying time at her homes in Massachusetts and Maine. Lois takes pleasure in reading, knitting, gardening, and entertaining her four grandchildren.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lois_Lowry#cite_note-autogenerated2-4" target="_blank" class="gj_safe_a" style="word-wrap: break-word; outline-style: none; color: rgb(51, 102, 153); text-decoration: underline; ">[5][/url]
Lowry wrote of her hope for the future recently on her blog, "I am a grandmother now. For my own grandchildren - and for all those of their generation - I try, through writing, to convey my passionate awareness that we live intertwined on this planet and that our future depends upon our caring more, and doing more, for one another."[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lois_Lowry#cite_note-loislowry.com-5" target="_blank" class="gj_safe_a" style="word-wrap: break-word; outline-style: none; color: rgb(51, 102, 153); text-decoration: underline; ">[6][/url]
Lowry has suggested that she is religious, but not so religious as "to have a favorite psalm."

by Lois Lowry Gr. K-2 88 pages Houghton, 2002; Dell paperback, 2004
With the annual publication rate for children's books now reaching more
than 8,000 titles, it's inevitable that any reviewer (even the most
attentive) will miss a good one here or there. Such is the case with
Lois Lowry's Gooney Bird Greene, whimsical short novel who is the
antithesis of Junie B. Jones in civil behavior but a carbon copy in
uniqueness and irrepressibility. Somehow, I missed Gooney when it first
came out and discovered it only recently through the recommendation of a
classroom teacher.
And just like Junie, Gooney Bird would be a welcome addition to any
classroom, except with the latter, even the teacher would be glad to
have her aboard. She's smart, mature, kind, and in charge at all times —
or at least she wants to be, which sometimes presents a challenge for
the teacher. Here's how Lowry introduces us to Gooney Bird:
There was a new student in the Watertower Elementary School. She arrived
in October, after the first month of school had already passed. She
opened the second grade classroom door at ten o'clock on a Wednesday
morning and appeared there all alone, without even a mother to introduce
her. She was wearing pajamas and cowboy boots and was holding a
dictionary and a lunch box.
"Hello," Mrs. Pidgeon, the second grade teacher, said.
"We're in the middle of our spelling lesson."
"Good," said the girl in pajamas. "I brought my dictionary.
Where's my desk?"
"Who are you?" Mrs. Pidgeon asked politely.
"I'm your new student. My name is Gooney Bird Greene that's Greene with a
silent 'e' at the end - and I just moved here from China. I want a desk
right smack in the middle of the room, because I like to be right smack
in the middle of everything. "
The class stared at the new girl with admiration. They had never met anyone like Gooney Bird Greene.
She was a good student. She sat down at the desk Mrs. Pidgeon provided,
right smack in the middle of everything, and began doing second grade
spelling. She did all her work neatly and quickly, and she followed
instructions.
But soon it was clear that Gooney Bird was mysterious and interesting.
Her clothes were unusual. Her hairstyles were unusual. Even her lunches
were very unusual.
At lunchtime on Wednesday, her first day in the school, she opened her
lunch box and brought out sushi and a pair of bright green chopsticks.
On Thursday, her second day at Watertower Elementary School, Gooney Bird
Greene was wearing a pink ballet tutu over green stretch pants, and she
had three small red grapes, an avocado, and an oatmeal cookie for
lunch.
On Thursday afternoon, after lunch, Mrs. Pidgeon stood in front of the
class with a piece of chalk in her hand. "Today," she said, "we are
going to continue talking about stories."
"Yay!" the second-graders said in very loud voices, all but Felicia Ann,
who never spoke, and Malcolm, who wasn't paying attention. He was under
his desk, as usual.
"Gooney Bird, you weren't here for the first month of school. But our
class has been learning about what makes good stories, haven't we?" Mrs.
Pidgeon said.
From this point on, Gooney pretty much takes over and teaches both the
art of storytelling and the fact that everyone has their own unique
story to tell. Of course, no one's tale is quite as original as Gooney
Bird's. For example. her first class offering is "How Gooney Bird Came
from China on a Flying Carpet," which proves to be absolutely true, to
the amazement of her teacher and class.
[b]Sequels: [/b] Gooney Bird and the Home Room Mother; Gooney the Fabulous; and Gooney Bird Is So Absurd. The Newbery-winning Lowry has long been one of our most gifted writers for children and this series proves again her great versatility. Anyone who can give us Autumn Street; The Giver; Number the Stars; Anastasia Krupnik; and Gooney Bird Greene in one lifetime of writing— now that is a true world-class children's author. Also by the author, the memoir Looking Back: A Book of Memories.
