Woman's Day brought together 13 Western stars who conquered the child's imagination with fairy tales of her own composition. We tell about all in order!

Julianne Moore

Freckleface Strawberry- this is how classmates teased the still unknown actress Julianne Moore in childhood. Nature has endowed little Julie with red hair and cannabis on her face, so jokes about the artist's sunny "illness" have become popular with bully. But Moore turned fiery beauty into a calling card. Childhood nickname inspired the actress to write the book "Strawberries with Freckles" for little fans. On the pages of a fairy tale, a seven-year-old girl learns to accept her extraordinary appearance. Julianne described the book as follows: “She is about a girl who is different from her peers and has to prove that she is no worse than them. Actually, I admire another red-haired and freckled heroine - Pippi Longstocking. But she's exactly what the heroine is. And I was writing a book about an ordinary girl who does not have Pippa's superpowers. I wrote a book on psychology for children, if you like. ”Later, the book had two more parts with the same main character:“ Freckleface Strawberry: Best Friends Forever ”and“ Freckleface Strawberry and the Dodgeball Bully ”. In addition to these books, Julia has released another children's book called "My Mom Is a Foreigner, But Not to Me". She dedicated it to her mother, who always spoke with a Scottish accent. “I wrote about my experience of living with a wonderful person. Which was somewhat different from the rest. The book is called “My mother is a foreigner, but not for me”. Mom really was a foreigner - she spoke with a Scottish accent all her life, although she came to the States at the age of 12, - she talked about Moore's book. - Of course, a book in memory of my mother, but for me it means more: it is addressed to children whose mothers are foreigners and this makes them uncomfortable. And you know, this idea was ... Imagine: out of two dozen illustrators, I chose one artist from drawings without meeting. I didn't even know her name. But it turned out that she is from Hong Kong, but lives on the island of Yell - this is Scotland! Can you imagine? She lives in Scotland, in the homeland of my mother, and she is a foreign mother herself! "
