First released in 2007, the 40-page children’s book tells the story of a little red-haired girl with freckles, who learns that the best way to embrace her differences is by accepting them. After all, as the book description reads, “the things that make you different also make you YOU.”
Per publisher Bloomsbury USA, “Freckleface Strawberry [is] a darling and delightfully illustrated laugh-out-loud story of a young girl learning to love the skin she’s in.”
The full-color picture book features words from Academy Award winner Moore and illustrations from former animator-turned-illustrator, Leuyen Pham. Moore says the book was inspired by her own childhood of being teased about her freckles, and having to learn how to stick up for herself in the face of adversity.

Moore responded to the Department of Defense book ban on Instagram, writing that it came as a “great shock” to her. “I can’t help but wonder what is so controversial about this picture book,” the actress said. “It is a book I wrote for my children and for other kids to remind them that we all struggle, but are united by our humanity and our community.”
