I noticed that we don't have the second and third 'Heidi' books, 'Heidi grows up' and 'Heidi's Children' by Johanna Spyri recorded on LibriVox. I do believe that they are in the PD. I have read all three books multiple times. I would love to be able to listen to the last two, though.

That's because they were written by Charles Tritten (Johanna Spyri's translator), not Spyri herself, and not published until 1936 and 1939. So they won't be PD for another 8 and 11 years, respectively.
There are a few other Spyri novels on Librivox you could listen to instead while you're waiting.
Cheers,

I needed to look it up - according to Wikipedia
AnneBetween 1933 and 1955, French publishing company Flammarion published a new edition of Heidi along with a series of new original sequels. Despite being all published under Johanna Spyri's name, this books were neither written nor endorsed by Spyri, but were adapted from her other works by her French translator, Charles Tritten in the 1930s and 1940s, many years after she died, while the last one was witten by Nathalie Gala.[26][27][28][29] The series is composed of a total of 7 books, 2 translated from Spyri's works and 5 original. Only two of them were published in English.
