Betsy-Tacy by Maud Hart Lovelace illustrated by Lois Lenski*

How did I miss this series as a child?!
Betsy longs for a friend to play with on her street.  Then one snowy spring day a large family moves in across the street.  Betsy and Tacy's first encounter does not seem promising but as they work through a misconception, a solid friendship blossoms and thrives.
A sweet friendship that celebrates creativity and imagination.
*Highly recommend.
This series follows Betsy from a five year old until she is an adult and married.  Ms. Lovelace based the series on her own childhood and her childhood friend, Bick.
Grade Level Equivalent: 4.2
