Heidi by Johanna Spyri

Orphaned young Heidi is sent to live with her reclusive grandfather in the Swiss Alps, where her kindness and joy bring warmth to his lonely heart. Later, she is taken to the city to serve as a companion for a sickly girl, Clara, but becomes homesick for the mountains. The plot follows Heidi’s emotional and spiritual journey, her return to the Alps, and her influence on Clara’s recovery. It’s a story of healing, nature, and the redemptive power of love. A classic of children’s literature filled with vivid scenery and gentle values.
