The third chapter book in the award-winning Henry series, starring a sweet and sensitive child on the autism spectrum, is a story about embracing life's messier moments and one’s own uniqueness.
It is Picture Day for Classroom Ten! 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.
Join Henry and the kids of Classroom Ten in this warm and funny tale of Picture Day pressure, loose tooth trouble, and learning what it truly means to make a day—and a memory—that is picture perfect. Part of the Schneider Family Award and Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor-winning series, this is a reassuring read for all school-age kids.
