I have a new appreciation for this book as a parent - I feel the same way about my sweet Phoebe as Chrysanthemum's parents do. She is absolutely perfect. And so is this book. I've also come to realize that my sweet, absolutely perfect daughter is obsessed with villains, and she told me she needed to look at the page of nightmare Victoria picking Chrysanthemum's petals for ten minutes. I have a feeling we will be reading this again for bedtime very soon... no reviews | add a review

This is such a nostalgic childhood book to me! My mom is a first grade teacher and I just remember reading this in her room when I was younger. I think this book shares a really good message of name acceptance and just being true to yourself. It's super cute and well done, even for an older book. I would have this book in my classroom, and I would give it to first graders.
