Julianne Moore's children's book Freckleface Strawberry is set to be reprinted after a surge in demand triggered by the Trump administration's attempt to restrict the book in schools. Originally published in 2007, Freckleface Strawberry tells the semi-autobiographical tale of a young girl learning to embrace her uniqueness despite feeling different. Moore expressed her shock at the ban on social media and thanked her supporters, emphasizing the importance of messages in her book regarding self-acceptance and childhood experiences of feeling different.
“Thank you for the incredible amount of support you have shown me and Freckleface!”
“I want them to understand that even grown-ups remember feeling different as kids, and that the feelings don't go away entirely, but they do change.”
