Strawberry Girl is a Newbery medal winning book written and illustrated by Lois Lenski. It was first published in 1945.
Set in the U.S. state of Florida in the early 20th century, the story deals with two families, the Boyers and the Slaters. The Boyers, having just moved to a new home in Florida, come into conflict with their new neighbors, the economically disadvantaged (and Protestant work ethic-less) Slaters. The story followed Birdie Boyer, a ten-year-old girl in the Boyer family. She was very excited to help harvest the strawberries.
