My Review:
This story is a perfect snapshot into the life of Helen Keller. I learned so many different pieces of information about this amazing woman. I loved learning more about Annie, the woman who taught Helen how to sign. The illustrations are beautiful and truly lifelike. I loved the quotes from Helen that are weaved within the storyline. The text is early reader friendly and perfect for book reports, or National Woman’s month. This book will show readers about the amazing things that Helen Keller accomplished in her life time. I highly recommend this book.
