About This Book

Chrysanthemum the mouse absolutely loves her name - until she starts school and the other children tease her for being named after a flower. Feeling small and unsure, she gradually finds the courage to embrace what makes her unique, with help from an unexpected ally.

Why We Love This

Kevin Henkes captures the emotional world of children so perfectly. This is a go-to for building confidence and talking about kindness, and kids connect with Chrysanthemum instantly.
