Heidi

Rarely do I recommend fiction, however Heidi by Johanna Spyri is an excellent exception. Filled with child-like faith, Heidi sparks love and life into her grandfather's worn out heart. She brings joy to everyone she meets and is a servant to all. There is much to learn in this classic about an orphaned girl in the Alps!
