📘 Karen's school picture by Ann M. Martin

Karen is surprised to find that she needs two pairs of glasses: one for reading and one for everyday wear. With the school picture day approaching, she faces the challenge of deciding whether to wear her new glasses. Seeking a way to feel confident, she chooses a set of pretty pink and blue frames, believing they will make her look grown‑up. However, her classmate Yicky Ricky calls her “Four‑eyes” when she appears, threatening to laugh if she wears the glasses during the photo. Determined not to let the teasing defeat her, Karen stands firm and plans to show up for the picture with or without her glasses, ready to face the day on her own terms.
