A childhood favorite that I still relate to as an adult. ❤️
This book would go well with Rump by Leisel Shirtliff.
August 2017 - we read this book on the first day of school. Kids really related to the teasing and could relate to how Chrysanthemum felt. For homework, the students wrote a paragraph about their name. Why did their parents choose it? What does it mean? etc.

A lovely book about the power of words and the influence we have on each other as young children. Beautiful illustrations and a solid message about being kind and unique.

This book is about how fickle and mean kids can be and how easy it is for some adults to use Jedi mind-control techniques on them. In the sequel, I bet Chrysanthemum has trouble finding gainful employment because her name won't fit on job applications.
