Welcome to Stories Come to Life. I am your host, Kathryn Lopez Luker.  When Mr. Sesemann returned from his trip to Paris, he discovered how much his little daughter, Clara, was devoted to her young companion. Heidi may have caused a bit of upheaval in the household, but she is full of kindness and consideration as well. And she found another loving grandma in Clara’s grandmama! What is more, Heidi learned from her that reading is a joy and delight. But oh, how much she still longs for her grandfather and the high mountain pastures, and the sound of the wind in the fir trees!  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!
