About the Book
Chrysanthemum is a funny and honest school story about teasing, self-esteem, and acceptance to share all year round. Chrysanthemum thinks her name is perfect. That is, until her first day of school, when merciless teasing over her name causes Chrysanthemum to wilt. Will she blossom again? This is a great book to break the ice during the first week of school. It gets children thinking about their own names and bonding with others in their class. It's a great vehicle to start a discussion about treating classmates with tolerance, kindness, and compassion.
