“Whenever something feels too hard, from spellings to swimming, Helen’s story is a quiet reminder of what patience can do. It also opens gentle conversations about disability.”
She could not see or hear, yet she learned to read.
Who Was Helen Keller? is an illustrated biography of the deaf and blind girl who grew up to become a writer and world traveller.
Helen lost her sight and hearing when she was very small. At first she found her own ways to learn, telling plants apart by touch and smell. Then a determined teacher, Annie Sullivan, arrived, and a battle over a spoon and a napkin was only the start of their story.
What they'll discover
- How Helen learned simple chores, like folding clean clothes and knowing which were hers.
- Why everyday mishaps, like drying a wet apron by the fire, could turn dangerous.
- Short side panels on linked topics, like Louis Braille, plus a timeline of her life.
