A spirited girl transforms her gruff grandfather's heart in the Swiss Alps.
Young Heidi is sent to live with her gruff grandfather in the Swiss Alps, where she faces challenges from rebellious goats to city life in Frankfurt. As she navigates homesickness and new friendships, Heidi's journey reveals the healing power of kindness and the joy of storytelling. Will she find her place in a world that keeps expanding?
Discover the heartwarming magic of Johanna Spyri’s beloved tale in this gorgeous graphic novel adaptation. From the author of the critically acclaimed Anne of Green Gables: A Graphic Novel comes another thoughtfully retold children’s classic. When young Heidi is sent to live with her grandfather in a small shepherd’s hut in the Swiss Alps, everyone expects him to turn her away. He has a bad reputation: mean, growly, and harsh as the cold mountain winds. But Heidi is quick to take on any challenge, whether it’s keeping an eye on the rebellious goats, learning to read, or melting Grandfather’s icy heart. Heidi’s adventures take her up and down her beloved mountain, from picnics in the high alpine meadows all the way to the distant streets of Frankfurt and a city life she could never have imagined. But when homesickness strikes, Heidi must weigh old friendships with new ones and find her place in an expanding world. Given new life as a graphic novel in artist Ofride’s warm, folk art-inspired style, Heidi celebrates the joy of storytelling, the wonders of nature, and the healing power of kindness.
