What do you think the “perfect” school picture would look like? Bright, new clothes? Neatly combed hair? A freshly washed face? A sweet, friendly smile?
During library class, kindergarten and first grade enjoyed Deborah Diesen’s story Picture Day Perfection. Dan Santat’s expressive illustrations suggest that the boy in this story has a very different idea of what makes a picture “perfect”! I filled a bulletin board in our school foyer with the students' "perfect" portraits. As you can see, they found Dan Santat's illustrations to be very inspiring!
I love this!! How fun. A big thank you to you and your students for having such fun with the book. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I understand Dan Santat visited your school last week! He's fantastic. I'll bet everyone had a wonderful, picture perfect time!
