In this kids' biography, discover the inspiring story of Helen Keller,
who overcame the odds by learning to understand and communicate with the
world.
Helen Keller lost her sight and hearing due to an early childhood
illness and spent the first six years of her life unable to interact
with other people. She remained isolated from the outside world until
Anne Sullivan came to work as her teacher. In this biography for kids
ages 8-12, learn all about Helen Keller's amazing life and
achievements--how she learned to read Braille and speak, go to college,
write books, and ultimately revolutionize the world through her activism
on behalf of the deaf and blind.
