Chrysanthemum
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? For nearly thirty years, Chrysanthemum has been a household and classroom favorite, and a refreshed cover design, larger trim size, and welcome letter from the author will bring the paperback edition of Kevin Henkes’s beloved classic to a whole new generation of young readers. Chrysanthemum is a celebration of diversity, self-esteem, and acceptance for every child who has ever felt out of place for being different.
