Shirley Temple plays little Heidi in this popular children's novel—a bright, lively, innocent, kind-hearted little girl. Little Heidi lost her parents when she was very young, became an orphan, and was raised by her aunt until she was five years old. Tired of raising little Heidi, her aunt sends Heidi to her unfriendly grandfather who lives in seclusion in the Swiss mountains. The grandfather didn't like seeing little Heidi at first, but gradually he fell in love with his granddaughter. Under the influence of nature, little Heidi developed a love for the beautiful mountains and simple people, and she used her love to help her withdrawn grandfather return to the crowd. Before long, the aunt came back to pick up Heidi and sold her to Clara, the disabled daughter of a wealthy family, for company. Despite being bullied by a vicious governess, Heidi won the family's affection and miraculously restored Clara's ability to walk independently, but never gave up returning to her dear grandfather.
