The Story of Helen KellerBy Lorena A. HickokHave you every thought about how it felt to be deaf and blind at the same time? This a true story about Helen Keller. She was deaf and blind. She lived in Tuscumbia, Alabama. She was born with a sickness that made her blind and deaf. She was alone in the dark until her teacher Annie Sullivan came along. Annie taught Helen Braille. Helen was no longer in the dark. Helen was able to communicate with other people.I like this book because it teaches me about the blind and deaf. Also, it is a happy and sad biography.I think the author was trying to get through to us that Helen Keller had to use patience, effort, and confidence. We should use those lifeskills in our lives too. ]

The girl that had no key to her opening

This has been the best book I have ever read it made me cry and laugh as little Helen finds who she realy is. But she lost her sight and her hearing as to menagitis. She was lost in the widerness she was locked up until Anne came and she taught Helen how to do many things. She was a little girl who found the key to her happyness and her life. I recommend this book to ages 8-12 so go and buy this book and see what happend to Helen.

An Inspiring Story

This was a great story for kids of Helen Keller's life. I easily understood the story line and it could be eaisly understood by at least a third grader. It starts with the tragic tale about a girl in darkness and goes to her elderly days when her dream was that no blind man will wake around with a tin cup begging.It describes how her sense of smell saved her mother,her sister and brother-in-law by smelling the fire that started under her bed.It tells how she was the oping act for plays to pay for her teacher's eye operation.(teacher meaning Annie Sullevin)It goes into great deatale about her life. That is why I would rate this book five stars.
