Chrysanthemum – Kevin Henkes

Kevin Henkes books never disappoint.  Chrysanthemum is one of my favorites.  Sweet, little Chrysanthemum begins kindergarten loving her unique name but upon entering kindergarten she encounters a group of mean girls that tease her about her name to the point that Chrysanthemum wants to change it.  Ultimately, one of her teachers intervenes and helps Chrysanthemum as well as the other students recognize the beauty of Chrysanthemum’s  absolutely perfect name.
