Those who have read the book will understand the significance of both these images. The Giver is Lois Lowry’s dystopian children’s novel which won a Newbery Medal Award in 1994. Numerous attempts to adapt the book to the screen have surfaced since it’s initial 1993 publication date.

‘The Giver’ is scheduled for release later this year on August 15.
