Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes
This adorable picture book is from award winning, Wisconsin-born author Kevin Henkes. Meet a little mouse name Chrysanthemum! She loves her family and more than anything she loves her name. That is, until she starts school. She’s the only one in her class with a long and unique name and is immediately ashamed. That all changes when everyone’s favorite teacher shares that she too has an unusual name, giving Chrysanthemum the confidence to rock her amazing name!
This book has a great message about always believing in yourself and embracing the great traits that set you apart from everyone else.
