Written and illustrated by Kevin Henkes, the nationally bestselling and celebrated creator of Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse , Owen , and Kitten's First Full Moon , Chrysanthemum is a don't-miss classic, especially for back to school. 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, Chrysanthemum exemplifies Henkes's talent for creating true picture stories for young audiences."— The Horn Book This is an ideal break-the-ice book for the first week of school.

The message is sweet and simple and the illustrations are cute. It’s a perfect little story! I bought it for my almost 3 year old grandson, but the story is equally suitable for a 5 year old. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our son loved Kevin’s books (and videos too). *by on Reviewed in the United States June 6, 2026* We found these books by Kevin Henkes about 20 years ago while hunting through the children’s videos at the library to entertain our young son. Kevin’s charming books meet children where they are and lend an understanding hand to many an interesting childhood interaction. Also look for the Scholastic Collection of videos of some of his books. They are a perfect addition to keep your children coming back for more. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Timeless Classic – Perfect for First Day of School Jitters! *by on Reviewed in the United States November 21, 2024* "Chrysanthemum" has always been one of my favorite childhood books, and now I'm so happy to be sharing it with my child!
