COMBO: Strawberry Girl

COMBO: Strawberry Girl-Teacher/Student Guide

By Lois Lenski

If you are looking for an introduction to Southern Literature for young readers, a fantastic book on Florida history or a classic story of the power of Jesus Christ’s salvation, Strawberry Girl is it!

Lois Lenski wrote children’s novels featuring the people and culture of specific American

regions, and Strawberry Girl tackles Florida during the late 1800s as pioneers began to cultivate the land. Birdie Boyer and her family moved to Florida to grow strawberries, oranges and other crops. At first, Birdie and her family are friendly toward their new neighbors, the Slaters, but rivalries escalate as time goes on and the Boyers have to learn how to live at peace with them and love their neighbors. 

Our literature guides assist parents and teachers to delight in classic literature through a Christian Worldview. Young readers engage in timeless stories which communicate truth, goodness, and beauty. These stories shape moral imagination and literary understanding as students reflect with discussion, writing and hands-on activities. With decades of teaching and curriculum writing experience, our literature guides were created with the best practices of reading research as we use the Bible as the standard of Truth.
