This past summer my friend Kevin took an epic trip to Asia, 45 days traveling through China, Vietnam, Thailand, and Korea. He had plenty of stories to share when he came back about the culture, food, and all the pretty girls (Kevin is single). I actually found his stories about the pretty girls fascinating, because [...]

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 isn’t 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.

Freckleface Strawberry and the Dodgeball Bully
by Julianne Moore
As a former pre-school teacher, I found this story to be absolutely delightful. Freckleface Strawberry likes it when her parents go to work early beacause she get to go to Early Bird—most of the time. She's really good at a lot of the things they get to do, but sometimes it rains and then they have to go inside and play…dodgeball.
The only one who really likes dodgeball is Windy Pants Patrick, the school bully. Everyone else is …afraid. But then one day, Freckleface Strawberry came up with a plan.
Fears abound in this very clever book that has an unexpected twist that will have children cheering.

Four-time Academy award nominee actress, and beloved picture book author JULIANNE MOORE and bestselling illustrator LeUyen Pham have joined their immense talents once again to give young readers Freckleface Strawberry and the Dodgeball Bully.
It was Ms. Moore’s infusion of hilarity and heart that 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.

One of the things I respect most about Julianne Moore is her commitment to the development and welfare of children. As the U. S. Ambassador for Save the Children she works with children and families in rural areas, focusing on literacy and early childhood education. Julianne successfully launched the Save the Children Valentine program in 2008 whereby children’s book illustrators donated art work for cards, with the proceeds benefiting poverty in the United States. She is also a member of Reach Out and Read, a children’s literacy organization dedicated to educating parents on the importance of reading to their children.
Julianne now lives with her husband and children in New York City.

Cynthia's Attic has the huge honor of hosting actress, Julianne Moore and her latest picture book. As a long-time admirer of her as an actress, it's been interesting reading about her as a person, an advocate for children's literacy, and especially her human qualities. How many of us survived our school days without running, headlong, into the schoolyard bully? She address this problem with humor and sensitivity.
THE FOUR-TIME ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEE AND HER SPUNKY, PICTURE BOOK STAR DODGE A BULLY, 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. Moore’s 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.

I hope someday I run across this book ... looks fun. My kids are grown, my maturity level is at teen, so it's a bit too high for this book, and I don't have any grandkids yet.

This is a book I need to get for my grandchildren. I have one that I believe would fits the character of Freckleface Strawberry and 2 that fit the character of Dodgeball Bully
Your books sound great for the young crowd, too.
Books like these are so important in teaching children how to handle school bullys, and also "innocent" teasing.
Thanks for the comment, Martha.
