Illustrated by
Raul Colón.
This book looks at challenges Helen Keller and teacher Annie Sullivan faced and surmounted. Annie's point of view is considered as much as Helen's, and Annie's strength of character is highlighted. Peppered with excerpts from Annie's letters, the book concludes with the first letter Helen writes on her own. Colón's line and watercolor pictures are rather sedate; endpapers provide photographs. Reading list, websites.
