First thoughts: Could this book be any sweeter? I love it. Windy Pants Patrick is back as Freckleface Strawberry’s best friend. The other kids thought they were too different to be best friends, let alone friends. So even though it was their differences (from others) that brought them together (both being odd sizes, having nicknames, and families who love them, loving to read and eat lunch), their differences viewed differently, however, could keep them apart. Classic scenarios where boys don’t...more
Freckleface Strawberry and her best friend Windypants couldn't look any more different, she's a girl, he's a boy. She's short, and he's tall. She has red hair and freckles, and he doesn't. She has a mom & dad and he has two moms, and yet despite these differences these two have so much in common. They love to read, go to the museum, play games and do a lot of things most young children enjoy doing. Once they're at school they learn a wonderful lesson about being true to yourself and loving y...more
I really liked book #1. This is book #3. Book #2 is on its way from the library. I can’t believe I’m reading these “out of order” but I suspect it won’t make any difference with these particular books.
This is another sweet story. It seamlessly (well pretty much seamlessly) manages to say some things about diversity being good, via a friendship between a girl and a boy both odd kids out in some ways, and also showing two different family configurations, including one with two mothers. I love how...more

In the beginning the two do everything together, they are bestfriends. But eventually they let others talk them into not hanging out with each other. At the end, they realize that they are best friends and always will be.

This is a story about two friends. They are the same and different at the same time. This story explores their personalities, their families, and the things that they do. This story allows students to realize that sometimes friends are the same and sometimes friends are different, but in the end it is important because friends take care of each other. This plays out in the story when they stop being friends for a little bit, but in the end realize how important it is to be nice to your friends e...more
Freckleface Strawberry and Windy Pants Patrick are best friends. They have lots of things in common: nicknames, families, eating lunch, reading books, going to the museum, and love for playing. One day, at school, the other boys and girls start to point out Freckleface Strawberry and Windy Pants Patrick's differences. The two start to drift apart. Are they two different to be best friends?

Two best friends, Helen (Freckleface Strawberry) and Patrick (Windy Pants)did everything together. From reading books, taking trips to the mall, and roller skating down the street, this boy and girl were inseparable. Unfortunately, their friendship was not accepted by the rest of their peers. "Boy aren't supposed to hang out with girls." So one day Freckleface and Windy decided to part ways. They still participated in all of their normal activities, but they came to discover that it just wasn't...more
Windy Pants and Freckleface Strawberry are BFF...until some of their other friends start making comments and questioning why and how they could ever possibly be friends with one another. The Best Friends slowly start looking at one another through their friends eyes and stop hanging out for a while. Until they realize that their differences aren't so bad after all and they miss one another terribly. Great story about friends and peer pressure and overcoming differences.
Great book for kids to show that maybe you should not let others opinions interfere with your own thoughts and feelings. Freckleface Strawberry and Windy Pants have been best friends because they are odd ducks, their differences making them feel the same. When their classmates point out that playing with the opposite sex is not good unfortunately they buy into that logic.
Julianne Moore jumps on the celebrity picture book writing bandwagon. Two unlikely children become friends. Great mesage about appreciating others differences. Loved the reference of the boy having two moms; great to see this change reflected in children's stories.
One of the Freckleface series, it is about being different yet being similar. This book is great for teaching children about being friends with many different types of people. This book can also be used to teach about the diverse types of families out there.
Freckleface Strawberry and Windy Pants Patrick are very different. Their differences don't stop them from being the best of friends though. After all, if we were all the same it would be a very boring world.
Japanese brush pen and digitally colored illustrations. Limited palette - Green, Yellow, Red - tiny touches of gray, blue, purple.
Prose main text with interspersed word and thought bubbles.

A cute tale of true friendship. This true friendship is put to the test when outside forces begin to meddle and the power of peer pressure rears its ugly head.
I liked this although it is awfully predictable, didactic, and easily resolved. I do have to remind myself that is what many kids like.
Cute development of friendship and appreciation of differences... wonderful continuation of Freckleface Strawberry story.
A pure delight for kids! Julianne Moore gets better at writing as she goes along! Maybe she can write for grown-ups as well!
Japanese pen and ink looks fantastic with the digital coloring. Such a fun story about friendship and diversity.
Another pleasant installment from Moore. LeUyen Pham continues to rock my world.
Talks about friends, gender differences, and that we're all people. Eh...
This is a sweet story about friendship. The narrative is short and fairly simple, but tells an important story about being true to one's friends, no matter what others say. Both the story and the illustrations are just as good as the first two books in this series. We enjoyed reading this story together.
Pleasant but quite predictable.
Freckleface Strawberry and Windy Pants Patrick used to not like each other at all (see Freckleface Strawberry and the Dodgeball Bully), but now they're best buds. Is that weird? Nah... or maybe?
I think this would make a terrific read-aloud for younger elementary classrooms and discussions on friendship. Most kids will tell you that boys and girls can't be best friends unless you press the subject. This is a non-threatening, fun way to begin the conversation.
