Lois Lowry has long been a favourite author of mine, and I've just had a wonderful time exploring her website - http://www.loislowry.com/index.html
She published her first picture book last year, Crow Call, illustrated by the talented Bagram Ibatoulline (who did The miraculous journey of Edward Tulane by Kate di Camillo, amongst others). National Library has just got copies in and I've eagerly requested it.
Lois' biography is interesting, and also there is a wonderful collection of speeches she has given at various occasions which I've also enjoyed reading - read the one "How everything turns away"...
