The Lollipop Book Club is not just about giving a child a bunch of books. It is a "gift experience" that connects you with a special child in your life.
The best way to make this gift personal and unforgettable is through the words you are sharing with the child. A simple "Happy Birthday" or "I Love You" may be just right for your gift. But if you want to get more involved in crafting your message, here is a list of inspirational quotes to get you started.
And remember, you can send a different note for each book, so get creative and share your words of wisdom- or those of someone famous as quoted below!
