Helen Keller and the Big Storm is a book about Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller. In the beginning Helen's family can not control her so they hire Annie Sullivan to help. Helen did not care for Annie at first, but then Annie taught her how to communicate. Helen was outside for a little bit when suddenly the weather changed and a big storm was coming. Helen was stuck in a tree scared becuase she could not see, yell or hear. Annie saved Helen and they became friends forever.

I respect Helen because although she was blind and deaf she grew up to help other people that had the same handicap as her. She became famous for helping other people. The illustrations in this book were beautiful, especially the page where Annie and Helen are outside learning about the flowers. I enjoyed this book because I love true stories. I have read other stories about Helen Keller and this one was the best because I learned that Helen loved using the outdoors as her classroom and I love learning about nature too.

I would recommend this book for children because Helen is blind and deaf and she helped people who are blind and deaf. It can help children understand how frustrated Helen was when she could not communicate to people. ( )
