CRYSANTHEMUM: A FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL BOOK (PB)

This lovely picture book features a funny and honest school story about teasing, self-esteem, and acceptance to share all year round. Chrysanthemum thinks her name is absolutely perfect - until her first day of school. "You're named after a flower!" teases Victoria. It gets children thinking about and bonding with their own names and the names of everyone else in the class, and it's the perfect vehicle for starting a discussion about treating classmates with tolerance, kindness, and compassion.
