It depends on the PPI they want. For example, if they want a PPI of at least 300, then you need a resolution of at least 6000 x 9000.

Either find a higher resolution version of the image or scale it up to what they want and live with the ugly quality that inevitably results from it.

63ppi is way too low, realistically, 180ppi is probably as low as I'd go.

 

Either find a better resolution image or make the print smaller.

You should either scale it up or use the highest resolution image you can find.
