Freckleface Strawberry and the Dodgeball Bully

Written by Julianne Moore
Illustrated by LeUyen Pham

Book Description

New from Academy-Award-nominated actress Julianne Moore and illustrator LeUyen Pham, a follow-up to their Fall 2007 hit, Freckleface Strawberry. This time, Freckleface has got a big, bad, bully to dodge.

Freckleface Strawberry loves the Early Bird program at school because it means extra time on the playground-except when it rains. Rain means indoor playtime…and facing the school bully Windy Pants Patrick in a bruising game of dodgeball. Ignoring him seems the safest thing, but what's our freckled heroine to do when she's forced to confront the bully alone? Beat him at his own game, of course. A funny, inspiring story about an all-too-common problem that kids, parents, and teachers will easily relate to.

“Moore infuses the story with humor through a realistic grade-school voice that will ring with parents and children alike. Add a cliché-busting bully character – and illustrator Pham’s dynamic drawings – and the result is a thoroughly enjoyable picture book.” – Cookie magazine

“Bold cartoon-inked graphics are large and full of activity."–School Library Journal
