Orphaned as a small child, Heidi is brought to live high in the Swiss Alps with her solitary, gruff grandfather. The mountains, the goats, and her friendship with the young goatherd Peter quickly win her heart. But her newfound happiness is interrupted when she's sent away to Frankfurt to be a companion to Clara, a wealthy girl confined to a wheelchair. Though Heidi grows fond of Clara, she aches with homesickness for the peaks she left behind. Spyri's beloved 1880 novel is a warm, enduring story about belonging, nature, and the quiet healing power of home.
