| Summary | "What Sami Sings with the Birds" by Johanna Spyri is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around themes of loss, resilience, and faith as it follows the life of a young boy named Sami and his grandmother, Mary Ann. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Switzerland, the narrative conveys a deep connection to nature and the transformative power of song and trust in divine providence. The book begins with the struggles of Mary Ann, who has lost many loved ones and must raise her grandson Sami after his mother’s death. Despite their hardship, they find comfort in each other and in the beauty of the natural world around them, particularly the songs of the birds. After Mary Ann passes away, Sami is forced to navigate life alone, facing challenges that test his spirit and determination. His journey takes him to various places, ultimately leading him back to the ash-trees by the brook where he once sang joyfully with his grandmother. In the end, the connections he makes and the lessons he learns about faith and trust in God guide him to a brighter future with a kindhearted family who welcomes him as their own. Throughout the narrative, the recurring theme of “Only trust the dear Lord!” serves as a mantra for Sami, encapsulating the book's message of hope and resilience.
