Bookroo's summary

Helen Keller, deaf and blind from age two, battles to escape her silent world. With Annie Sullivan's guidance, she learns to communicate and achieve the extraordinary. How does she transform her challenges into triumphs? Discover the inspiring journey of a remarkable woman who defied the odds, enriched with illustrations and insights into her world.

From the publisher

At age two, Helen Keller became deaf and blind. She lived in a world of silence and darkness and she spent the rest of her life struggling to break through it. But with the help of teacher Annie Sullivan, Helen learned to read, write, and do many amazing things. This inspiring illustrated biography is perfect for young middle-grade readers. Black-and-white line drawings throughout, sidebars on related topics such as Louis Braille, a timeline, and a bibliography enhance readers’ understanding of the subject.
