Chrysanthemum thinks that she has a perfect name. That is until she goes to school. Victoria points out that her name only just fits on her badge and that she is named after a flower. School gets worse until she meets the music teacher, Mrs Delphinium Twinkle. And suddenly Chrysanthemum blossoms.
This has been one of my favorite books for forever, and I'm excited to be using it in the library this week and next. We're reading this book with first grade, and having some conversations about how differences make us unique. A perfect story for a boy or a girl struggling with differences.
