A beautiful story about feeling accepted

This has become my daughter's favorite book, read to her every night now. We've checked it out of the library and I fear we need to purchase it before the fines start mounting up! I love the detailed drawings and descriptive words ... they don't insult a child's intelligence but instead enhance vocabulary and observational skills. Adults and kids are entertained!

It is about being nice to our friends and not to tease them.

The students from Mrs. Wicks' class at Silver Lake Elementary School in Middletown, DE loved this book. The class is a multi-aged group of first and second graders. The book is one of their books from the Principal of the Month Book Club. The children said that they loved the pictures because they were so colorful. They also liked when all of the students who teased Chrysanthemum wanted to be named after a flower just like her but did not like when they teased her. They loved her name and thought it was neat. Thank you for a great book. Mrs. Wicks' class!!

Wonderful!

What more could I say that's not simply a rewording of what others have said. I just read this book to my son. Cool! I heartily recommend it! :)

Makes A Child Feel Great!

I found this book at a teacher's workshop, and as an adult I related to this book. I have a very unusual name, and it was always hard for other children to understand my name. My parents always reinforced to me how special my name was, and this book does too. It helps any child realize that we are all very special people.

Delightful

This book is wonderful. A great book for kids 3 to 7. Be happy with who you are is the message. Great ending and good use of descriptive adjectives. I'll be getting more books by this author. Jessica is quite good too.
