I’ve always loved this book. It’s so sweet and the artwork is adorable. 🥰
I got this book for my daughter because I don't ever want her to not like her name. Such a great, emotional ride.
Another one of my favorite children's books. I read this all the time in elementary school.

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.
I would love to see a book with a similar theme be written today.
Working in the school system, I had two separate occurrences where a student told me, "I hate my parents for giving me this name." A name is part of our identity, and we need to teach our children to embrace their unique identities.
Unfortunately, where this story misses the mark is where Chrysanthemum finds her own value. Furthermore, the teacher didn't support her while she was being bullied. Sadly realistic in some cases, but it's not a good lesson.
This could be a great story to build a lesson from, but I wouldn't just stop at the book.

This is a cute and heartwarming story that all students will love. It reminds them to love who they are in an enjoyable way.
There were no consequences for the little brats. Chrys should have drop kicked them
