In chapter ten Klara's grandmother comes to visit. When Klara's grandmother first meets Heidi she takes a liking to her, Fräulein Rottenmeier tries to get Klara's grandmother to not like Heidi and to think of her as she does, but she is unsuccessful and Klara's grandmother continues to like Heidi and grow close to her. Klara's grandmother is very kind to Heidi, unlike Fräulein Rottenmeier and she helps her learn to read. Heidi feels very homesick and it is starting to take a toll on her health, Klara's grandmother notices this and tries to see what is wrong, but Heidi doesn't want to tell her because she thinks that if she does Klara's grandmother will think she is ungrateful and will not be nice to her, so she tells Heidi that if she has something that is bothering her, but she can't tell other people she can just pray and this makes Heidi feel a lot better. The chapter ends when Klara's grandmother decides to go home.
The theme of Heidi is that adversity can be a doorway to wondrous adventures. This theme applies to Heidi because even though she faces many obstacles she is able to overcome them and make new friends, be happy, and enjoy life. One of the obstacles that Heidi faces is having trouble learning her ABC's and how to read, but she is able to overcome this obstacle with the help of Klara's grandmother which opens a doorway into reading which Heidi ends up loving. This is how this theme applies to Heidi.
