Meet Lois Lenski
"After Lois won the Newbery Award for Strawberry Girl, children in various communities would send her letters saying, 'Come on out to Arkansas where people pick cotton—no one’s written about us before,'" says Michael Covey, grandson of famed children’s author Lois Lenksi.
Through extensive first-person research, Lenski crafted her regional series—children’s books based on the challenging lives of rural people whose tales had never been told. Lenski received requests from all over the country, from ranches to houseboats, as people invited her to explore their ways of life. Watch how this author of classic children’s books developed her stories, which are now available in ebook format.

Lois Lenski: Art, Illustration, Literature, Research
This thematic exhibit based on the Lois Lenski Papers and collections housed in The Martha Blakeney Hodges Special Collections and University Archives examined the work of Lois Lenski throughout her life. The exhibit showed some aspects of Lenski's work that are familiar to many readers of her books, but also highlighted other aspects that are not so well known. The exhibit used artwork, research material made and collected by Lois herself, and interactive audio clips to provide context and expand our knowledge of her accomplishments. The exhibit ran from February 1- May 31, 2014 in the Hodges Reading Room in Jackson Library, UNCG.
