I read this story as a girl and found it fascinating. Helen Keller lives in a dark work, unable to communicate with anyone because she was born blind and deaf. But then Anne Sullivan comes to teach her, and despite the fact that Helen has become a wild child, Miss Sullivan eventually teaches her to read, to write, and to live a full life. This is an amazing story! (

Helen Keller was an amazing woman, and this book is great - especially for kids - to learn about her life. I learned how to finger spell because of this book as well. (
