Heidi

A newly illustrated edition with reader's notes for tricky words. Complete and unabridged.

A bed of hay, two curious goats, and a grandfather everyone fears—could this be the happiest place in the world? Meet Heidi, a bright-spirited girl who finds wonder high in the Swiss Alps.

Heidi skips beside Little Swan and Little Bear beneath the tall fir trees on her grandfather’s mountain. With fresh air, warm milk, and Peter the goatherd for company, she soon feels at home—but her life won’t stay so simple. Far from the mountain, in the grand houses of Frankfurt, Heidi must face unfamiliar rules, new friends, and a longing for the home she loves. And when strange happenings stir the city house and trouble reaches the mountains, can Heidi’s kindness bring comfort to everyone who needs it?

This complete and unabridged edition includes reader’s notes for tricky words, so young readers can enjoy Johanna Spyri’s beloved story of Heidi.

At Wise Minds Press we believe the years between childhood and the teenage leap are a golden window: curiosity runs high, vocabulary explodes and a single page can spark a lifetime of possibility. We were those wide‑eyed readers once—hungry for challenge, eager to roam far‑flung worlds, and guided by parents and teachers who knew the right story could light the path ahead. Today we honor that legacy by bringing time‑tested classics to young readers complete and unabridged, with reader's notes for the tricky words, and original illustrations for Grades 4‑7 (Ages 9‑12).

Our mission is simple: to place in every young reader's hands a bridge to literature's greatest adventures, turning boundless imagination into confidence, empathy, and the readiness to write their own remarkable futures.
