The name LOLLYPOP BOOKS was inspired when author Steven Viele learned of illustrator Ashley McKeown’s insatiable love of lollypops, especially butterscotch. He began supplying Ashley with endless lollypops throughout the design phase of “My Dog Is The Tooth Fairy”. She has since received another supply to inspire their second book “A Gift You Don’t Want”. A love of lollypops captures so much of the essence of childhood that it seemed like a perfect fit for the name of their company.
