We came across this graphic novel while searching for graphic novel options we can share with Christian parents that are at least safe. This is actually a much harder task than nearly anyone would expect given the state of the content being produced and placed into this format. Fortunately, here we were successful. Heidi comes into her previously reclusive uncle’s life and the impact is beautiful. There are refreshing characters. Heidi is sweet and genuine. It also deals with loss well and shining our light into the lives of others. There is also a lot of nice bonus content at the end.

We should also mention that this book has some of the most beautiful artwork we have seen in a graphic novel. There are few words in this version, but the illustrations tell the story very well.

In the picture at the end of the person who adapted this book, she is shown wearing a large cross necklace, which is great.

While the current state of graphic novels is bleak, and we certainly advise encouraging your kids away from them, this is one you can feel safe providing to your young reader. We have it as a Recommended option.
