Description

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.

JUST RIGHT FOR BEGINNING READERS: With short chapters and simple text, this book is perfect for newly independent readers who are just moving into longer books.

GREAT BACK-TO-SCHOOL READ: Perfect for any reader starting a new school year, the Henry series explores common school experiences in a gentle, funny, and encouraging way.

DIVERSE STORIES: Representing neurodivergent kids is a vital aspect of expanding diverse representation across books for all ages. The Henry series provides a mirror and a window for kids on the autism spectrum and their friends to see themselves in the stories they read.

AWARD-WINNING TEAM: Jenn Bailey and Mika Song have received the Schneider Family Book Award and a Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor for their Henry stories. Follow along with each new adventure in this much-loved series!

Perfect for:

Newly independent readers
An excellent resource for parents of kids on the spectrum
Librarians, teachers, and booksellers looking for a children’s book that offers a window into the experience of autism
A reassuring read for kids with varying levels of social anxiety
Gift-givers looking for a sweet and relatable book about new experiences
