I read the Betsy books over and over again; also Betsy-Tacy, by a different author.

The Lenski books are surprising -- her own doll-like illustrations really belie the serious content. I remember in STRAWBERRY GIRL, the heroine, the daughter of migrant workers, had her mother make a new dress for her of carefully-saved feedsacks. Then she proudly showed up at school for a birthday party only to find out she wasn't invited, and was mocked for her dress.
