"My books have varied in content and style. Yet it seems that all of them deal, essentially, with the
same general theme: the importance of human connections...The Giver and Gathering Blue...speak to
the same concern: the vital need of people to be aware of the their interdependence, not only with
each other, but with the world and its environment...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." -Lois Lowry
