(1) K-3 Illustrated by Matt Tavares. Rappaport covers the span of Helen's life from birth through her years with Annie Sullivan and after. The focus is on Helen, but readers get an acute awareness of Annie's sacrifices for her. Tavares's illustrations (ink, watercolor, and gouache) are bold and often in intense close-up, while quotes heighten the emotion of this stirring and awe-inspiring book. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib.
