Helen Keller: Her Life In Pictures
By: George Sullivan
This was probably one of my favorite biographies I've ever picked up. I am a huge Helen Keller fan because I respect her and look up to her for all that she accomplished while being blind and deaf. I always found myself wondering what she looked like. Did she look different from the rest of us? What kinds of things did she do? Not only did I get to read about her life from beginning to end, I got to see pictures that went along with it. Not illustrations of any sort, but real life pictures. There were pictures of her meeting the presidents, Mark Twain, and even with her teacher Annie. This made the story come to life. This biography also contained a lot of information about Helen Keller that I had no idea about prior to reading this book. Every question I ever had about her life was answered within the pages. The book contained quotes that Helen used throughout her life and I really liked that. It let you get a feel for her personality rather than just reading a boring series of events about her life. I think children will read this and become knowledgeable about Helen Keller. Not only that, but I feel as though they will become truly inspired. After all, Helen Keller lead one of the most inspiring lives I've ever heard about.
