Heidi
"God is good to all of us. He knows what we need better than we do. And just because he thinks it is better not to give you what you want right now doesn't mean he isn't answering you. You shall have what you ask for but not until the right time comes."― Johanna Spyri, Heidi Heidi is a children's fiction published in 1881 by Swiss author Johanna Spyri.

Cornelli by Johanna Spyri, Translated by Elisabeth P.Stork
CORNELLI, A Story of the Swiss Alps Many writers have suffered injustice in being known as the author of but one book. Such has been the fate of Johanna Spyri, the Swiss authoress, whose reputation is mistakenly supposed to rest on her story of "Heidi." To be sure, "Heidi" is a book that in its field can hardly be overpraised. But the present story is possessed of a deeper treatment of character, combined with equal spirit and humor of a different kind. Cornelli, the heroine, suffers temporarily from the unjust suspicion of her elders, a misfortune which, it is to be feared, still occurs frequently in the case of sensitive children.
