About Being a Redhead With Freckles With Julianne Moore Author of Freckleface Strawberry

Acclaimed actress, and now beloved picture book author JULIANNE MOORE and bestselling illustrator LeUyen Pham join talents again for FRECKLEFACE STRAWBERRY AND THE DODGEBALL BULLY. This time, their perky, loveable seven-year-old encounters a bully on the playground—Windy Pants Patrick—during a game of dodgeball. As the brute prepares to hurl his might at Freckleface and her friends, she must figure out how to summon the courage to stand up to him. Ms. Moore tackles this all-to- prevalent problem with both humor and grace.


It is Ms. Moores infusion of hilarity and heart that has won her praise from booksellers, educators, reviewers—and most importantly young readers!—for her debut picture book Freckleface Strawberry, a charming tale inspired by a childhood experience.


Nicknamed Freckleface Strawberry when she a young girl, Ms. Moore disliked the title as much as she disliked her red hair and freckles. As a child, my hatred of my freckles was only matched by my love of reading, said the author, who eventually grew to tolerate her red hair and freckles and find amusement in telling her own kids about her childhood nickname. Dodgeball isnt based on personal experience, but creating a feisty character who makes the best of a bad situation—and does so with style and wit—is essential to Ms. Moore.

i am a redhead and have freckles too. i was bullied for 8 years in elementary school. who hasnt got red head doesnt understand what it means...

[litekepr]

@tikatika88 I've had good friends tell me that and I saw the teasing that redheads got as kids. Unfortunately I was teased because i was tall and had braces - but teasing for any reason can definitely be painful. Its a shame that more kids and adults can't learn to appreciate our differences instead of using them to hurt people.

[litekepr]

@echo680 I've never understood it either, but two old boyfriends and another friend of mine have gorgeous red hair and were each picked on for years.

@morellocherry1 your lucky you never got teased.. in year 7 i was pinned up against a school bus by the throat by a year 12 guy and was told to dye my hair black or he would kill me. obviously i did it cause i was scared to death.. and now after trying to be somebody else for 4 and a half years, im finally back to red.. its slowly growing out now. ive got freckles all over my face and i bloody love em. i dont know what its like to have white skin though, im lebanese so i have tan skin hmm.

[monkeylove2102]

@echo680 ive got auburn hair (dark red, golden browny hair) and freckles all over my face and i love them.. probably cause im lebanese so my skin isn't white. its tan lol. different story for a white skinned redhead i guess
