This is an easy to read book (grades 1 & 2) and a wonderful tool for introducing children to Helen Keller. It tells about her struggles after becoming deaf and blind, and of her eventual triumph of learning words with the help of her teacher, Anne Sullivan. It also gives a very brief summary of her accomplishments as an adult.

I think it's great for kids to learn about Helen Keller, and this book provides a nice way to first hear the story.

The last page of the book has a sign language alphabet chart which some children might enjoy trying to learn...

I like this book because it's a true story that happened 100 years ago. It's a sad story because Helen Keller was blind and deaf. It's a good story because after a while she understood what she was doing and she learned how to write on a typewriter.

This is a great book ! It's about a facinating young girl that got ill when she was a baby.Helen lost her sight and hearing, and went on a heartwarming adventure with a young teacher ,you can buy this amazing book on amazon . com !

I had this book when I was young! I remember reading it over and over again and it caused me to fall in love with getting to learn about Helen Keller. I used the sign language in the back of the book to learn the alphabet and I still remember it to this day, and I am in my sophomore year of college because it was so interesting to me that I went on to learn more sign language. I would recommend this book to anyone with a child that is learning about Helen Keller or you want to teach them the sign language alphabet.

I bought this book to share with a group of 5-7 year olds. I was really disappointed to find that it didn't cover anything past her childhood - none of her accomplishments or quotes as an adult. I ended up getting a different book which did cover these things - Helen Keller, Courage in the Dark. This book has nice illustrations and is fairly easy to read, I just wish I had known it didn't cover past childhood.

Helen Keller is just like Laura Bridgman.They both had Scarlet Fever.But Laura Bridgman had it before Helen Keller.This book tells you about a real girl name Helen Keller.Helen Keller had Scarlet Fever when she was two years old.She was blind,mute and deaf after this sickness.Helen was crazy.She was jumping around braking things and she even hurted her little baby brother! Then Helen's parents called for help.This lady came.She was blind also.But she helped Helen to learn sign language and knowing what are the things she touched.It was really hard teaching Helen all the manners and everything.But at the end Helen was like another ordinary girl.
