Chrysanthemum
Kevin Henkes (Author, Illustrator)
"It's the first day of school, and Chrysanthemum is sure that it's going to be absolutely perfect. Just like her name. Chrysanthemum. But her classmates have other ideas. "If I had a name like yours, I'd change it," says Victoria. But when a teacher with an equally precious and priceless and fascinating name comes to her defense, Chrysanthemum's school days go from absolutely dreadful to perfectly delightful." -- Back Cover
