Welcome to Stories Come to Life. I am your host, Kathryn Lopez Luker.  Poor Miss Rottenmeier! She thought her idea of bringing a companion for Clara Sesemann would give her some relief from the hard work of caring for the girl. But now that Heidi has arrived, life is more surprising and disorganized that she ever would have believed. Heidi, on the other hand, is trying to find something in this new life that will bring her some happiness. She has already made a great friend and ally in Sebastian, and after an episode with some kittens, she knows she can rely on him to help her. But oh, how she longs for her high mountain pasture, and the fir trees, and the long view from her Alpine home!    Now sit back, relax, and listen to this story come to life. Listening to audiobooks really does count as reading, and there's no better way to relax than to hear Stories Come to Life! Let me know what you think!
