In order to sustain their livelihood, her aunt De De has never really been able to spend much time with her. Heidi is the story of an orphan little girl who her aunt has raised for about five years. The book left me with an intangible sense of stronger belief, like a fresh flush of positivity I poured into my cup of a horrible year. Despite our most intense attempts, difficult times last because they’re supposed to leave us as better individuals. It teaches us about the purpose of faith and being far-sighted when seeking justice from a higher power or demanding a flood of light to lift us from our darkness. Be as it may, a simple children’s tale, the reason that Heidi resonates with almost everyone who has ever picked up the book is that it strikes a chord with our own personal struggles and a deeper understanding about why at the end of the day, hardships are good for us. Reading Heidi in my late twenties bound me in weaves of nostalgia and wiser interpretations. Recently I purchased the ‘Puffin in Bloom’ (by Johanna Spyri) collection of classics from amazon the books are most beautifully designed by Anna Bond (an artist and the creative Director of Ripple paper co.) I have to admit that revisiting the adventures of our beloved childhood heroine, concealed within such gorgeous creation, brings a distinguished joy to my heart altogether. Heidi used to be my lunchtime favorite, and I’m sure many 90s kids can relate to my sentiments when it comes to her. She was exactly my age and just as adorable.
