Entertainment Desk: Julianne Moore has alleged that her children’s book was prohibited during Donald Trump’s administration. The 64-year-old actress expressed her “great shock” on social media after discovering that “Freckleface Strawberry” was reportedly banned in more than 160 schools governed by the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA).
Moore shared her dismay upon learning that her debut book, “Freckleface Strawberry”, had been banned in Department of Defense-run schools under the Trump administration. In a statement posted on Instagram, she conveyed her disappointment over the decision.
Originally published in 2007 and illustrated by LeUyen Pham, the book was the first in the “Freckleface Strawberry” series—semi-autobiographical stories about a seven-year-old girl learning to embrace her appearance, according to the series’ official website.
In her message, Moore highlighted that she wrote the book for her own children and others, aiming to remind them that while everyone faces challenges, a shared sense of humanity and community connects us all.
