What words could you use which would give another the experience of sunshine?

~ Lois Lowry, The Giver

The Giver by Lois Lowry

We are truly honored to present The Giver LitJoy Edition, a cherished collaboration with the legendary Lois Lowry. Our beautifully designed special edition with @alysestew.art artwork captures the quiet power and deceptively simple complexity of Lowry’s unforgettable and poignant novel. Experience Jonas' journey of awakening from the colorless conformity of his "idyllic" Community to the vibrant world full of both pain and pleasure anew (or for the very first time)!

Endpaper Art

Pulled in by the swirling memories on the cover, open the book to experience the contrast of the grey, well-ordered sameness with the vibrant, yet harrowing, memories that lie beyond the reach of the members in Jonas' community.

The immersive and rich artwork created by @alysestew.art continues through the story's end as Jonas' courage to break free leads him to a world where both pain and pleasure exist, and where color—memory—touches everything.

For decades, The Giver has been a cornerstone of thought-provoking literature, inviting readers to see beneath the surface of an idyllic community. Everything seems perfect—but at what cost?
