Actress and Academy Award nominee Julianne Moore may be a Cover Girl now, but growing up she felt a bit more like a "Freckleface Strawberry." And, that is the title of the first time author's new children's book.

The fair skinned, redheaded mother of two — son, Caleb, 9 and daughter, Liv, 5, wrote the tale of a spirited little girl wishing her freckles away to help kids feel more comfortable in their own skin. Featuring colorful illustrations by LeUyen Pham, the 32-page picture book is a must read.

Celebrate your child's unique traits and Children's Book Week by reading this story at bedtime.
