Today I learned about Strawberry Freckleface…and its ban.
Actress Julianne Moore wrote this gentle little picture book about having freckles. The girl who has the freckles doesn’t like them at first, because she feels different from other kids, but she learns to love them, and herself. (And kids learn a simple lesson about accepting themselves and others.)
And apparently, the Pentagon has now (2025) banned it from Pentagon-run schools, as part of a general move to restrict what can be taught there.
