Explore Johanna Spyri books at New West Press.

Johanna Spyri's stories give children's emotional lives a strong connection to the places and people around them. Heidi follows a girl whose life in the mountains and away from them brings questions of home, friendship, and care into focus. Cornelli explores misunderstanding and a child's struggle to be seen more generously by others. These two novels offer different situations but share an interest in how relationships can wound or encourage a young person. The collection invites readers to notice the small changes through which trust and belonging develop.

For shared reading, pause over a surprising choice, an unfamiliar word, or a change in a character's fortunes. These moments give children room to make predictions and explain what they notice. Independent readers can enjoy the story at their own pace, while families can return to favorite passages together. Browse the listed editions to plan a next chapter for your home library.
