Freckleface Strawberry

Julianne Moore

illustrated by LeUyen Pham

Freckleface Strawberry is a little girl who’s pretty much like everyone else, except for one thing: her FRECKLES! All the kids make fun of her and, before long, there’s only one thing she can do—hide. It takes an itchy ski mask, a giggling baby and some well-timed commiseration from a freckled mom to help Freckleface realize that while hiding from her freckles won’t solve anything, friendship helps a lot.

The freckled and feisty Freckleface is no sugar-coated self-satisfied little princess. She’s a real kid who doesn’t like the way she looks. Julianne Moore brings a healthy message about learning to live with your flaws, while LeUyen Pham’s retro art makes everyone wish for a few freckles.
