FRECKLEFACE STRAWBERRY: BACKPACKS!

Academy-Award winning actress and New York Times bestselling author Julianne Moore brings us more adventures from Freckleface Strawberry!

In the second book, Freckleface and her best friend, Windy Pants Patrick, each have something secret in their backpacks: sticky, gooey gum and a squished, messy donut. When it comes time to pull their homework from their backpacks to hand in to the teacher, suddenly their snack choices seem like a really bad idea. Step 2 Readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories, for children who recognize familiar words and can sound out new words with help. Four books are planned in this series. Julianne Moore is the author of four books for children, three of them about a girl named Freckleface Strawberry. Freckleface Strawberry is based on Julianne herself as a child. “I was tiny, too,” she says, “and where I got my freckles from was a mystery.” All three original Freckleface Strawberry books are illustrated by award-winning artist LeUyen Pham. Freckleface Strawberry also stars in two interactive apps and a musical play. In her day job, Julianne Moore is anAcademy Award-winning actor who is internationally admired for her luminous portrayals of complex and explosive characters on screen. She will be appearing at the 2nd Bookcon in New York in Summer 2015 to share the new Freckleface Strawberry series.
