Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes by Lynelle Johnson https://padlet.com/ldj54400/l2kvm4ruwpco This book is about a young mouse that loves her name until she enters kindergarten and finds that her other classmates have short names such as Sam, Max and Bill. One classmate named Victoria brags about herself being named after her grandmother rather than being named after a flower. The young mouse discovers that her name is special and unique because their music teacher says she wants to name her baby Chrysanthemum. en-us 2017-04-06 20:11:53 UTC 2025-11-02 07:25:39 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Templeball.png I really like this book because it teaches people to accept each other's differences. ldj54400 https://padlet.com/ldj54400/l2kvm4ruwpco/wish/165263199 2017-04-06 20:33:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ldj54400/l2kvm4ruwpco/wish/165263199 This book is about the real life struggles of a mouse and how she over comes. I love how the author did not make her bullies feel bad but had them start to like her name and accept her. ldj54400 https://padlet.com/ldj54400/l2kvm4ruwpco/wish/165265718 2017-04-06 20:52:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ldj54400/l2kvm4ruwpco/wish/165265718 ldj54400 https://padlet.com/ldj54400/l2kvm4ruwpco/wish/165269694 2017-04-06 21:23:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ldj54400/l2kvm4ruwpco/wish/165269694 ldj54400 https://padlet.com/ldj54400/l2kvm4ruwpco/wish/165271799 2017-04-06 21:40:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ldj54400/l2kvm4ruwpco/wish/165271799 Meet the author: ldj54400 https://padlet.com/ldj54400/l2kvm4ruwpco/wish/165515393 http://www.kevinhenkes.com/meet-kevin-henkes/]]> 2017-04-08 16:40:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ldj54400/l2kvm4ruwpco/wish/165515393 ldj54400 https://padlet.com/ldj54400/l2kvm4ruwpco/wish/165515481 It shows how a person can be put down and the author addresses bullying perfectly.  ]]> 2017-04-08 16:42:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ldj54400/l2kvm4ruwpco/wish/165515481
