Chrysanthemum Hardcover Book - Kevin Henkes

Chrysanthemum the mouse adores her unique name—until she starts school and her classmates make fun of her for it. Luckily, an enchanting teacher named Delphinium Twinkle comes to the rescue, helping Chrysanthemum restore her pride in herself once and for all.     Chrysanthemum celebrates diversity and self-esteem, and it has been used effectively in classrooms since its publication in 1991. This updated edition features new cover copy, including glowing quotes from parents and educators who recommend Chrysanthemum as an ideal back-to-school book.
