“Chrysanthemum did not think her name was absolutely perfect. She knew it!“
I think this is a great book. It has beautiful colorful illustrations that show great emotion. This book would send a powerful message to students about thinking before we speak, and how making fun of someone's name can make them feel.
This reminds me of what it was like when a substitute teacher said your name wrong, the entire class would laugh. This can be very hurtful to a young child as our names are a big part of who we are. This book does a great job of explaining that feeling.
