Young mouse Chrysanthemum absolutely loves her name...but on her first day of school she is teased mercilessly about it. Chrysanthemum quickly begins hating her name, until the wonderful Ms. Delphinium Twinkle (music teacher) gushes over how much she loves the name Chrysanthemum.

A sweet story about starting school and dealing with teasing.

I got this book for my daughter because I don't ever want her to not like her name. Such a great, emotional ride.

One of my favorite childhood books. There's an audiobook I found that is narrated by Meryl Streep. 😭😭😭 Treat yourself.

Bullying, changing opinion based on other's opinion, but cute and teaches children to love being unique.
