They act, sing, inspire and make you laugh. Brilliantly. That should be enough! But these über-talented people also write children’s books — ones that are amazing enough to keep on your kiddo’s nightstand and read again and again. Click through our gallery to discover the best reads from the coolest multi-hyphenates around.

“Freckleface Strawberry” by Julianne Moore

About the Author: There’s no shame in confessing you first saw Moore playing twins Frannie and Sabrina on As the World Turns. But she’s most famous for about a million movies, and garnering four Oscar nominations, since then. And for her flawless skin. Your kids know her as the creator of one of their favorite apps.

About the Book: That enviable skin? She hated it as a little girl. Everyone called her Freckleface Strawberry. So when she became a movie star, she wanted to show other kids how everyone has something that makes them different. Which makes them just like everyone else. You can be unhappy about it or you can learn to love it, because it makes you YOU. And that’s a message we love. There are now three books and a musical for kids about Freckleface Strawberry.

Ages: 3 & up
