Lois Lowry and Jeff Bridges Discuss ‘The Giver’
“…Bridges and Lowry expressed similar sentiments about the role of reading in children’s lives. ‘Reading is a rehearsal for life,’ Lowry said. Bridges expanded on her point, saying, ‘Both movies and books provide safe places for children to explore real-life experiences. They help to develop compassion in our fellow man.'” (Publishers Weekly)
