Actress Julianne Moore shares 'great shock,' claims her children's book was banned by Trump Administration

"It is a great shock for me to learn that my first book, Freckleface Strawberry, has been banned by the Trump Administration from schools run by the Department of Defense," Julianne Moore said in an Instagram post. 

In her Instagram post, Moore said the book is "a semi-autobiographical story about a seven year old girl who dislikes her freckles but eventually learns to live with them when she realizes that she is different 'just like everybody else.'"

Part of the preview of Moore's book on Amazon reads, "If you have freckles, you can try these things: 1) Make them go away. Unless scrubbing doesn't work. 2) Cover them up. Unless your mom yells at you for using a marker. 3) Disappear. Um, where'd you go? Oh, there you are. There's one other thing you can do: 4) LIVE WITH THEM! Because after all, the things that make you different also make you YOU." 

"I am particularly stunned because I am a proud graduate of Frankfurt American High School a #DOD school that once operated in Frankfurt, Germany," Moore said. "I grew up with a father who is a Vietnam veteran and spent his career in the #USArmy. I could not be prouder of him and his service to our country."

She added, "It is galling for me to realize that kids like me, growing up with a parent in the service and attending a @dodea_edu [The Department of Defense Education Activity] school will not have access to a book written by someone whose life experience is so similar to their own. And I can't help but wonder what is so controversial about this picture book that cause it to be banned by the US Government."
