Strawberry Shortcake's friendship letter to children around the world elicits an invitation from Crepes Suzette to visit Pearis and the Pieffel Tower.

Friends from all over the world descend on Strawberryland to take part in the first Great Friendship Festival. Strawberry thinks the festival will provide a wonderful opportunity to see the world through different eyes and believes that in spite of their differences, in the end most of the kids will be the same and like the same things.
