“Chrysanthemum did not think her name was absolutely perfect. She knew it.”
in one word: sensitive
Chrysanthemum thought her name was absolutely perfect — she knew it. Then she started school, where Victoria announced, “You’re named after a flower,” and Chrysanthemum wilted. It takes a teacher named Mrs. Delphinium Twinkle to make Chrysanthemum blossom again.
