Discover the heartwarming magic of Johanna Spyri’s beloved classic tale in this gorgeous graphic novel adaptation by the author of the critically acclaimed Anne of Green Gables: A Graphic Novel.
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.
Mariah Marsden’s graphic novel retelling and artist Ofride’s warm, folk art–inspired style give new life to this beloved classic story, offering a fresh, inviting way to experience it for readers ages 9+.
Whether discovering Heidi for the first time or revisiting it as a childhood favorite, celebrate the joy of storytelling, the wonders of nature, and the healing power of kindness.
