Description
After Helen Keller lost her vision and hearing due to an illness as a newborn, Helen's parents did not know how to deal with her. They had no way of communicating with her; and therefore, didn't know how to teach her. She was even ignorant of practical life skills and etiquette; that is, until Annie came along. Annie was a young woman who had once had a blinding illness, but could now see due to surgery. Because of her past, Annie knew of ways that she could help and train Helen. This book shows Annie's journey of teaching young Helen the basics of life, language, and manners. This storybook is accompanied with wonderful full-page story illustrations. In addition to the storyline, several portions of Annie's real journal of her time with Helen have been inserted throughout the story. 29 pgs, pb. ~ Brianna
Publisher's Description of Annie and Helen
"What is breathtakingly shown here, through accurate, cross-hatched watercolor paintings; excerpts from Sullivan's correspondence to her former teacher; and concise and poetic language, is the woman's patience and belief in the intelligence of her student to grasp the concepts of language," praised School Library Journal in a starred review.
Author Deborah Hopkinson and illustrator Raul Colón present the story of Helen Keller in a fresh and original way that is perfect for young children. Focusing on the relationship between Helen and her teacher, Annie Sullivan, the book is interspersed with excerpts of Annie's letters home, written as she struggled with her angry, wild pupil. But slowly, with devotion and determination, Annie teaches Helen finger spelling and braille, letters, and sentences. As Helen comes to understand language and starts to communicate, she connects for the first time with her family and the world around her. The lyrical text and exquisite art will make this fascinating story a favorite with young readers. Children will also enjoy learning the Braille alphabet, which is embossed on the back cover of the jacket.
