Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
This biography of Helen Keller is divided into short readable chapters and is illustrated throughout with simple black-and-white sketches. Interspersed throughout the book are short biographies of personalities of the era who had connections either to Helen or to the process of educating special students. You will find Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. There are also some short descriptions of sign language and Braille. Although left blind and deaf by illness, the struggle that led her to become a best-selling author and a famous world traveler is well documented in this work. There is a timeline of Helen Keller's life adjacent to a timeline of the world. This is an interesting choice for those students doing reports or wanting to know more about this interesting person. 2003, Grosset & Dunlap, Ages 8 to 10.
— Pat Williams

    Inspirational book...

    Gare Thompson wrote a couple of books that were part of a series about different important past figures in history. These books have become very popular and they are very interesting. Another book that he wrote for the series was Who is Eleanor Roosevelt. One of his most famous books is Who was Helen Keller? This is a biography of the woman who, with the assistance of her devoted teacher Annie Sullivan, achieved success and fame despite being blind and deaf. At age two, Helen Keller became deaf and blind. She lived in a world of silence and darkness and she spent the rest of her life struggling to break through it. But with the help of teacher Annie Sullivan, Helen learned to read, write, and do many amazing things. The reading level of the book is fourth grade, first month. The genre of the book is biography. The theme of the book is dedication, courage, and hard work. The book asks the question, ¿Who is Helen Keller?¿ It makes it a very powerful book. I really did cry at the end of the book and it was heartfelt. It tells the hardships of a woman who makes it in life. Helen Keller once said, ¿I can make a difference. I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do.¿ She is an inspiration to me. Thompson, Gare. Who was Helen Keller? New York: Penguin Young Readers Group, 2003.
