FRECKLEFACE STRAWBERRY

By Julianne Moore. Illustrated by LeUyen Pham. Freckleface Strawberry is just like everyone else—except that she has freckles. After trying to scrub them off, applying lemon juice, and drawing on herself with markers, she finds what she thinks is the perfect solution—covering her face with a ski mask. But the mask makes her hot and itchy, and no one recognizes her. Finally, Freckleface figures out that hiding from her freckles won’t solve anything-but friendship just might. Told with wit and sensitivity, this hilarious, heartfelt story will help kids learn to live with the things that make them different. Grades K–3. 8½" x 11". Bloomsbury. 30 pages. ©2007.
