Friends from all over the world -- the Antarctic, France, the Amazon Rainforest, China -- descend on Strawberry Land to take part in the first Great Friendship Festival. Although Strawberry thinks the festival will provide a wonderful opportunity to see the world through different eyes, she also believes that in spite of their differences most of the kids will be the same and like the same things; she and her new pal Tea Blossom learn an important lesson about the meaning of friendship.
