Chrysanthemum thinks her name is absolutely perfect-until her first day of school. "You're named after a flower!" teases Victoria. "Let's smell her," says Jo. Chrysanthemum wilts. What will it take to make her blossom again

This popular picture book has sold more than a million copies and was named a Notable Book for Children by the American Library Association.
