| Description: | Lowry references The Giver in her Newbury Award speech: The man that I named The Giver passed along to the boy knowledge, history, memories, color, pain, laughter, love, and truth. Every time you place a book in the hands of a child, you do the same thing. It is very risky. But each time a child opens a book, he pushes open the gate that separates him from Elsewhere. It gives him choices. It gives him freedom. Those are magnificent, wonderfully unsafe things. Join fellow book lovers and readers as we delve into two of Lois Lowrys most well-known booksThe Giver and Number the Stars. Fitchburg State faculty scholar Dr. Patricia Smith will facilitate our discussion. |
