Praise for Henry's Picture-Perfect Day!
"With its short chapters, easy text, gentle humor, and depiction of relatable feelings of unease while offering satisfyingly warm, non-threatening solutions, this title is ideal for young readers who will empathize with the characters’ feelings of anxiety.” ― School Library Journal, Starred Review

“Another charming outing for this winsome protagonist.” ― Kirkus Reviews

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.
