C'est enfin le jour de la photo d'école qui sera conservée dans un album pour toujours.
C'est le moment de montrer ses plus beaux vêtements, son visage le plus propre, son sourire le plus éclatant. Mais cette journée ne se déroule pas toujours comme prévu.
Il y a souvent un élève avec une chemise sale, le visage barbouillé ou une moue boudeuse. Pour le jeune garçon de cette histoire hilarante, la photo d'école parfaite semble impossible... Mais rien n'est décidé jusqu'au déclic de l'appareil photo!
It's picture day, and the boy at the center of this charming picture book wants to make sure his picture is perfect. It seems as though everything's going wrong for him -- he has bedhead, a stained shirt, and a big scowl on his face. But when he goes up for his picture, he thinks about his terrible appearance, and he smiles -- because he secretly wants his picture to be the worst ever taken! But just as he smiles, the photo is snapped and his plan is ruined -- the photo looks great.
