520			_aThis 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.
