Title: is it a good message to send children?
Review: This is a sweet book but I question the message it sends to children. Chrysanthemum doesn't feel good about her name, hence herself, until a teacher gives C. her approval. I wonder how we can create a space in which children themselves know their own worth, limiting how this is determined by how others view them, whether positively or negatively. I try to model for and encourage my daughter that one's sense of worth comes from the inside. Because if we give up that power to someone else, in this case to the teacher who wants Chrysanthemum to feel better,are we not then opening ourselves up to others later taking our sense of worth away?
