Cristantemo: Chrysanthemum (Spanish edition) [9780063580947]

Overview

A Spanish edition of Chrysanthemum, by #1 New York Times bestselling author Kevin Henkes. A back-to-school classic, Chrysanthemum is a funny and honest 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 is an ideal break-the-ice book for the first week of school. It gets children thinking
about and bonding with their own names and the names of everyone else in the class, and it's the perfect vehicle for starting a discussion about treating classmates with tolerance, kindness, and compassion.

This popular picture book has sold more than a million copies and was named a Notable Book for Children by the American Library Association. The carefully crafted text is perfect for reading aloud and story times, and the artwork, in Chrysanthemum and across all of Kevin Henkes’s mouse books, is playful, funny, inviting, and timeless.

"Perfectly executed in words and illustration, Chrysanthemum exemplifies Henkes's talent for creating true picture stories for young audiences." —The Horn Book
