Freckleface Strawberry

(4) K-3 Illustrated by LeUyen Pham. A girl nicknamed Freckleface Strawberry takes drastic measures to expunge the distinguishing marks from her face, finally resorting to wearing a ski mask in hopes of averting comments. This celebrity-penned "be yourself" story, based on Moore's own childhood experiences with teasing, rises above other similar efforts mostly due to Pham's warmly expressive thick-lined brush pen illustrations.
