What is Say cheese about?

Lola is thrilled because the school photographer is coming to take her very first school photograph. She is determined to stay clean and tidy all day, but playing in the playground, splashing in the water tray and finger-painting soon leave her covered in mess. Lola fears her special photograph is ruined. Luckily, Charlie helps her find a creative way to make a memorable picture after all, turning a disappointing day into a funny and unforgettable one.
