Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes
This is a cutie of a book. Little
Chrysanthemum loves her unusual name.
It’s perfect, her parents say, just like her.
But when Chrysanthemum starts kindergarten, the other children do
not appreciate its charm, and poor little Chrysanthemum wilts from all the
teasing despite her parents’ reassurances.
Then the children are introduced to a charismatic music teacher who
saves the day for Chrysanthemum.

I'm Gonna Like Me: Letting Off a Little Self-Esteem by Jamie Lee Curtis
We’ve got to hand it to Jamie Lee. Not
only is she an accomplished actress, but she may be an equally good
children’s author. I’m
Gonna Like Me is about children who accept and like themselves even if
things don’t always go their way. “I’m
gonna like me when the answer is wrong, like thinking my ruler was ten
inches long.” Throughout the
book, children whimsically illustrate that they are going to be accepting
of both the ups and downs in their lives.
