A Classic Swiss story written by the exceptionally talented author of Heidi. This chapter book tells the story of a poor family living in the Swiss Alps.

We see the hardships of their life; the love and care they had for one another; and how they manage to survive. It is a story about growing up and about survival. The reader learns much about Swiss ethnography and history. The story is engaging and beautiful in its own right; Noonan’s original illustrations are perfect.

This book can be read aloud to children as young as 6 and older children will enjoy reading it themselves.
