Oh come on! -Heidi is Swiss - Holland doesn't have mountains.
-Hansel and Gretel are German (they're called Hans en Grietje in Dutch, but it's not a Dutch story).
-Hans Brinker is an American invention, and not at all known in Holland before American tourists started asking around for the dyke he stuck his finger in.
You can however find lots of books of 'Pan-Germanic' fairy tales (Grimm, Andersen etc.) adapted to Dutch culture and illustrated with pictures of people in quaint Dutch traditional dress and clogs. If that's what you meant.

I would have to say one of the most endearing stories I know of from Holland would have to be Heidi - it's about a young girl who lives with her grandfather in Holland on a mountain. She has big braids and a really cute dress. I remember that story very fondly from when I was a little one. There is also a character called Holly Hobbie - she wears an adorable blue dress with wooden clogs.
Hope that helps you and you sis. Good Luck!

Hans Brinker like it was suggested is quite Dutch. And there are many stories about Saint Nicholas in Holland , by the way they are not clogs but wooden shoes or klompen in dutch :http://www.woodenshoes.nl/

my girlfriend would know this but she is at Uni. I'm looking at her children's books as I write.
Pippi Langkous (although she is originally Swedish and has a worldwide persona, probably know her as pippi longstocking) but she does't wear clogs. she does have a very obvious visual style as you can tell from the web link: http://www.pippi.net/
thats all i can really see. other characters would be a traditional durch girl but i can't name any stories - and looking on google isn't helping either, wrong types of stories.... eeek
Well, the rest of my gf's books are classics, Harry Potter and Jamie Oliver koek boeken... but if this is unresolved by the time she gets back, i will ask her.
UPDATE: got info from gf... she says that there are no stories of Dutch girls with clogs. the traditonal Dutch girl would be a Dutch cheese girl costume. They haven't appeared in childrens literature however. http://www.costumeholidayhouse.com/chh/images/431.jpg
but there are dwarfs/gnomes with stories originiating from the Netherlands: they are called "Kabouters" (search on google for pictures and sites and stories too) thats the best we can come up with... good luck

Heidi came from very mountainous country,as opposed to the Netherlands which is flat and partly below sea level.
Hans Brinker had a sister, didn't he?

Heidi comes from Bavarian Alps in Germany. You can use also Hansel and Gretel from the black forest in Germany.
