Hickok ; illustrated by Anthony D'Adamo This edition published in 1972 Chicago : Science Research Associates, 1958 31 pages : color illustrations ; 21 cm R This biography tells the story of Helen Keller, who became blind and deaf at 19 months old. Growing up in silence and darkness, she often felt frustrated and threw tantrums. Everything changed when a new teacher, Anne Sullivan, arrived—“the stranger” who entered Helen’s world. Anne patiently taught Helen to communicate through touch and finger spelling, beginning with the famous breakthrough at the water pump, when Helen understood that everything has a name. The book follows Helen’s struggles and triumphs: learning to read and write, attending school and later college, writing books, and traveling the world to inspire others. It shows Helen’s determination and the life-changing role of her teacher, highlighting themes of courage, perseverance, and the power of education. 660 Lexile estimate R Raz-Plus Helen Keller Biography Disabilities D'Adamo, Anthony illustrator ddc BK 0 8474 8474 0 0 ddc 0 0 NFIC 002 002 TTP Orange 2025-09-15 2 HIC 362.41 PZ7 FISBK07127 2025-11-10 09:30:10 2025-09-30 1 2025-09-15 BK
