This story would be great to use for discussing consequences for unexpected behaviors at school and moving forward. I might use this story if a student is upset about “getting in trouble.”

This book is about a little girl, Lilly, who loves her purple plastic purse but gets it taken away at school. The vibrant illustrations are engaging to children and make the story more fun to read. There are many details in the pictures that enhance what is being described in the narration. The themes of following rules and accepting consequences are important and relatable for young readers.
“Chrysanthemum did not think her name was absolutely perfect. She knew it!“
pickI think this is a great book. It has beautiful colorful illustrations that show great emotion. This book would send a powerful message to students about thinking before we speak, and how making fun of someone's name can make them feel.
This reminds me of what it was like when a substitute teacher said your name wrong, the entire class would laugh. This can be very hurtful to a young child as our names are a big part of who we are. This book does a great job of explaining that feeling.
