Chrysanthemum Big Book by Kevin Henkes

5.0

---

Such an adorable and charming book! I love how Henkes celebrates the joy of having an unusual name. I greatly sympathize with Chrysanthemum since I also have a unique name that I loved as a young child but disliked upon starting school when teasing, misspellings and mispronunciation all became commonplace; as an adult, I have come to enjoy and appreciate my name once more.
