Chrysanthemum is a funny and honest school story about teasing, self-esteem, and acceptance to share all year round. Performed by Academy-Award Winner Meryl Streep.

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?
