When Helen Keller was really young, she had a bad fever, which caused her to become deaf and blind. Helen's father set up a meeting with Helen and Alexander Graham Bell, who was conducting studies on the blind. Bell was the reason Helen was introduces to Anne Sullivan from the Perkins Institution. Anne was Helen's teacher who lived with her. She tried to teach Helen words by spelling them out into her hands. Helen also has a temper, which Anne is trying to work on. After a while, Helen began linking the words she was spelling to the actual objects they represented. She also became much closer to Anne. Anne taught Helen to read Braille, which Helen liked very much. Helen was also taught to write using a special machine, but it was difficult and time-consuming. When she was a teenager, Helen visited the Perkins Institution and made friends with the other children there. She tried to learn how to speak, but it did not quite work out. While Helen was away, she heard that her father had passed away, which was hard for her. She also decided to go to a regular college, which was challenging for her, but she was determined. Helen began writing articles for a popular magazine company and were made into a book. Helen fell in love, but was eventually left heart-broken. Helen had a movie made about her life, and then found out that her mother had passed away. A little while later, Anne also died. Helen did not let any of these troubles stop her; she had a vision for the future, a vision for all people who were deaf or blind, and she did not let anything stop her from fulfilling her dreams. This biography was full of accurate information that was organized in order of her life. Each chapter contained a little more about Helen growing as a person. Compared to picture books, this book has more information and focuses on more of what happened in hr life than what Helen was feeling. It also seems addressed to a more mature audience than the picture books are. ( )

Helen Keller (In their own words) is another excellent book about Helen Keller in her own words. It is written as a first person account using all her photographs and the books she wrote as primary sources. written. It is a wonderful read because it presents Helen's feelings in her own words. It will be interesting for students to read both books together (Ms. Spitfire) to find out the complete story of Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan. These books can also be used in for 'walking in others shoes'. ( )

This a great book to read if you are interested in the life of Helen Keller. It is a quick and easy read. It would be perfect for students to read if they are doing a project on her for school. It is a perfect book to introduce students to Helen Keller. ( )

A very good book about Helen Keller's life. The life story of Helen Keller is told in a very emotional way. It explains to the reader how strong Anne Sullivan and Helen Keller were and how difficult life is if you are deaf and blind. To my mind, Helen was an amazing women and her story should be spread everywhere. I am sure that it helps people suffering from impairments to become encouraged to achieve their personal goals. ( )

This book tells all about the life of Hellen Keller and the challenges she faced when she was growing up. Even though she was both deaf and blind she was still able to achieve many things. ( )
