Picture Day, imperfectly perfect

Classroom Ten is preparing for Picture Day, but Henry is unsettled by the details: a striped new shirt, an unpracticed smile, and a wobbly front tooth. As the class aims for a “perfect” photograph, the story brings everyday school pressure into view alongside Henry’s experience as a child on the autism spectrum. Its short chapters and simple text mark it as a chapter book for children beginning to read independently, while the Picture Day setting gives the story a familiar school-day focus.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Newly independent readers moving from shorter books to chapter books
  • Children interested in stories about school experiences and Picture Day
  • Families and educators seeking children’s fiction featuring an autistic child

Mrs. Tanaka says that the class will take a perfect picture. And on Picture Day, everyone smiles. The trouble is that Henry does not feel perfect. His new shirt has stripes. He has never practiced smiling. And, worst of all, his front tooth is starting to wobble.
