This is my all time favorite children's book.  I can relate with Chrysanthemum in that my first name is long too.  I was made fun of as a child because my name was different.  Like Chrysantemum, I have come to love and appreciate my name.

The perfect way to show kids how lovely it is to have a unique name.
