Who Was Helen Keller?

This is an excellent book for children who are intrigued by the inspiring story of Helen Keller. It provides valuable insights into her life, challenges, and remarkable achievements, making it a fantastic resource for young readers. Whether they're looking to deepen their understanding of her journey or need material for a school project or book report, this book offers a comprehensive and engaging perspective on Keller's enduring legacy.

As a former teacher, I love gifting books from this series to friends and family with children. This was an easy to read book that told the powerful story of Helen Keller.

My just-turned-seven daughter and I read this book together. She could read most all of it, but as she is just getting used to reading paragraph books we took turns. The book is very well written for this age group, giving enough details, but moving the story along to keep young minds paying attention. Helen Keller has such an incredible story, and I'm glad that my daughter could learn of it now. I particularly liked the little one-page interjection pages that summarized side topics like Braille or Alexander Graham Bell. These made for good summaries with some more detail of the things in the story without distracting from the flow. There are quite a few black and white drawings throughout that aren't particularly good, but do a good job to help a young child visualize what they are reading. I'm looking forward to more of these "Who was/were" small biographies.

Great book! It’s an easy read for my 8yr old son

My 8yo did a Wax Museum project on Helen Keller. This book was very helpful.

Grabbed my grandchildren's interest. A bit too long to hold their attention. They missed colored drawings but commented that "at least it had pictures." Children should read this to be aware of the life of this wonderful human! Helen and Anne were both amazing.

Our granddaughter, Lucy, ten, and in fourth grade, just loves to read and learn. This series is fantastic! I send her a book or two ever few weeks and so many times it has turned out that she is learning in school about the person featured in the book I send. Just a few weeks ago it was Helen Keller and a few weeks later, Harriet Beecher Stowe. The books are interesting and educational. She loves them and so do I. I hope the authors never run out of people to feature in these most-wonderful books.

Exactly as described. Nice product. Happy customer.

A história de Helen Keller é emocionante, pois ela ficou cega e surda quando criança e aprender a se comunicar com a ajuda de uma grande professora e o texto em inglês é razoavelmente fácil de entender.

Conoscevo la storia di Ellen Keller in italiano e ho voluto prenderlo in versione inglese per implementare il mio vocabolario. Peccato non abbiano dedicato alcune immagini alla Lis tattile, nel complesso positivo!

I love this series! They are great, easy-to-read, fact based biographies that my children have grown up with. Sacagawea was our first book because of my daughter's obsession and from there we moved to other strong historical women, such as Helen Keller and Amelia Earhart. Then we would find subjects to correspond with whatever my kids were studying in school. Very nice series!

This series is an excellent introduction to biography, a genre many will not have considered at an “early age”. They are well-researched, written well and select some very inspirational and interesting people. As with many books, I recommend that parents should read (or skip-read) them first to ensure they are prepared for the facts involved and their answers to questions. This lady’s physical attributes may not have been considered by most children and her response to them will surprise many children. Very thoughtful.

Very good biography for primary class children.
