Heidi's Journey: A Contemporary Classic: A Modern Retelling of Johanna Spyri's Beloved Tale

By Chrissie A Rolle

Discover the heartwarming journey of a young girl whose simple joy and open heart light up even the coldest of places.

In this beautifully reimagined retelling of Johanna Spyri's timeless classic, Heidi's Journey brings the story of the beloved mountain girl to a new generation. Adapted by Chrissie Rolle, this version is written in modern, accessible language while preserving the spirit, setting, and emotional depth of the original.

When five-year-old Heidi is left in the care of her reclusive grandfather high in the Swiss Alps, no one expects the warmth and joy she brings to the lonely mountaintop. As the seasons change, Heidi finds comfort in nature, friendship with Peter the goatherd, and love in the most unexpected places.

But when she's taken to the city to become a companion to Clara-a kind, wheelchair-bound girl-Heidi must navigate a new world filled with rules, sadness, and longing for the mountains. Through compassion and courage, Heidi changes lives wherever she goes.

Filled with emotional wisdom, playful imagery, and heart-stirring scenes, Heidi's Journey is perfect for families, classrooms, and readers of all ages who still believe in the power of love, nature, and belonging.
