I havent read this story but would like to. When I go to the Library I will see if they have it and give it a read. Thanks for your insite on how children are affected by physical characterics like freckles.janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14913480945876653836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104875765822931261.post-55737862214423463152012-03-09T14:26:08.791-08:002012-03-09T14:26:08.791-08:00Yes, it was written by the actress Julianne Moore....Yes, it was written by the actress Julianne Moore.Kristen Cayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649167403129634284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104875765822931261.post-9047507401797413312012-03-09T14:13:30.274-08:002012-03-09T14:13:30.274-08:00Thanks everyone!

It's cool to see Julianne Moore use a bit of her celebrity and personal experience to send a positive message. I like as well how you pointed out they didn't really address the teasing issue, it would be interesting to see how the publisher felt about that. Also it seems as though "nerd" has become a mainstream character so it was also interesting to see that in the book.

I wonder, though, about the adult who talked with her and said the freckles usually fade. What about when they don't? I think we need to accept everyone and help children love themselves without feeling a need to change or "grow out of it."kblisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12328548994878687870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104875765822931261.post-50317843211725742052012-03-07T16:46:22.192-08:002012-03-07T16:46:22.192-08:00I am interested in reading this book.

I think that it would be an interesting perspective to hear more thoughts from the parents to help freckleface strawberry process the discrimination of her freckles and red hair. The illistrations appeared fun for children. Is this book written by the actress?Shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04753863208946733946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104875765822931261.post-100384258467041572012-03-05T13:17:40.061-08:002012-03-05T13:17:40.061-08:00I really like that you chose a book that doesn'...I really like that you chose a book that doesn't necessarily have to with a certain culture or race, but with a different kind of skin color. I think red heads to get teased a lot because not only do they have red hair, they also have lots of freckles. I enjoyed the fact that Freckleface Strawberry tried to fix the problem herself because it shows she's exploring and learning that she can't get rid of them. But I also really liked that you pointed out she didn't talk with an adult about it. <br />I have read this book before and it's a wonderful children's book! You did a great job, girl :)Andi Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12714094936857904195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104875765822931261.post-11089961411535178382012-03-03T20:07:20.826-08:002012-03-03T20:07:20.826-08:00Sounds like a wonderful story!!

Well, except for the couple I have on my ears. Some children can be so mean. haha<br />Have a wonderful weekend! :)Athenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11725504305649593032noreply@blogger.com
