Heidi, an orphan, goes to live with her grumpy grandfather in the Swiss Alps. She befriends Peter, the goatherd, and her joy softens the old man. Her aunt takes her to the city as a companion for Clara, a girl who cannot walk; Heidi grows fond of her and learns to read, but homesickness for the mountain makes her ill.
Published in 2011, with illustrations by Lydia Halverson. Part of the Stepping Stone Books collection and the 'Heidi' series (positions 1-2).
For children beginning to read chapters and for readers approaching the classic in English.
