This is one of the best stories ever told tbh. I mean it's a pretty simple story but the story telling is top notch and the beauty lies in it's simplicity and relatability. I watched the animation as a kid and absolutely loved the life of heidi in the mountains. Everytime i heard the name 'heidi' it always brings me back to my childhood years, those carefree fun years. Im almost 30 now and reading the story and rewatching the animation made me understand the depth of the story. Heidi's relationship with her grandfather reminds me of my young nephews and neice's relationship with my dad. One day we'll all die but the story of heidi will live on forever and will always bring joy to anyone who reads the story.
