Anne of Green Gables
Dear Daughter,
I just wanted to let you know how tickled I am that you are kind of like Anne of Green Gables, one of my all-time favorite book characters.

I love that part of your name was inspired by Anne of Green of Gables. I own and have read the boxed set many times over the years. I wanted to read these books out loud to you while I was pregnant, but since I didn't know if you were a boy or a girl, I didn't want to risk it, because these are the ultimate girl power books.
Everyone thinks these books are all about Gilbert Blythe, but they're not. Only a few pages in each book is dedicated to the love story between Anne and Gilbert, unlike the movies. These books are all about Anne's adventures and how she makes it in the world as a creative soul with an extreme passion for life.
I want you to have to have a passion for life. I want you to grow up to be a strong good woman. I want you to always remember that while you are named after your Father, Anne of Green Gables was an inspiration as well.
Love,
Lindsay
