Chrysanthemum

Más información sobre el libro

Written and illustrated by Kevin Henkes, the nationally bestselling and celebrated creator of <em>Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse</em>, <em>Owen</em>, and <em>Kitten's First Full Moon</em>, <em>Chrysanthemum</em> is 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. "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. "Perfectly executed in words and illustration, <em>Chrysanthemum</em> exemplifies Henkes's talent for creating true picture stories for young audiences."—<em>The Horn Book</em> Supports the Common Core State Standards
