Freckleface Strawberry will do anything to get rid of her freckles — from scrubbing them with soap to caking on makeup. Will she ever be brave enough to finally face her complexion in the mirror? With the help of her loveable schoolmates, including an amazingly talented ballerina, a cute jock, a charming ditz and a totally kooky teacher, Freckleface learns that everyone is different — and that’s what makes everyone special.
