Product Description
Imagine living in total silence and darkness. That's what Helen Keller's world was like after a childhood illness left her deaf and blind. Unable to express herself, she threw tantrums that earned her the nickname "Little Bronco." But Helen's teacher Annie Sullivan found the key to communicating with her. Only then was the little girl able to experience fully the world around her. Helen went on to become the first deaf and blind college graduate in the United States and worked all her life helping to educate others about people with disabilities. Using photographs, quotes, letters and drawings, this biography introduces young readers to Helen Keller. Also included are a timeline of her life and a list of places to visit to learn more about this inspirational woman.

A Snapshot of an Inspirational Woman March 24, 2004
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
These Snapshot books are highly engaging, with good basic information as well as intriguing, "human interest" anecdotal detail you might not find from other sources. Where else would you find out that Helen Keller, who loved her pets, had the first Akita dog in the US? The photographs are wonderful -- both of the people and of personal and period pieces related to the subject. For example, I've never seen a modern Braillewriter, much less an "antique" one like Helen used -- again, where else would you come upon so much rich detail in one easy-to-read source? A surprisingly comprehensive bio for the grade level it's geared toward, as well. I'm ordering the L.M. Montgomery volume in the Snapshot series next!
