"Freckleface Strawberry" is a children's book series by which American actress?

Julie Anne Smith (born December 3, 1960), known professionally as Julianne Moore, is an American actress and author. Prolific in film since the early 1990s, she is especially known for her portrayals of emotionally troubled women in both independent and blockbuster films. She has received many accolades, including an Academy Award, two Emmy Awards, and two Golden Globes. Time magazine named Moore one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2015. In 2020, "The New York Times" ranked her #11 in its list of the 25 Greatest Actors of the 21st Century.

Alongside her acting work, Moore has established a career as a children's author. Her first book, "Freckleface Strawberry", was published in October 2007 and became a New York Times Best Seller. Described by "Time Out" as a "simple, sweet and semi-autobiographical narrative", it tells the story of a girl who wishes to be rid of her freckles, but eventually accepts them. Moore decided to write the book when her young son began disliking aspects of his appearance; she was reminded of her own childhood, when she was teased for having freckles and called "Freckleface Strawberry" by other children. The book has turned into a series with six follow-ups as of 2016.
