Helen Keller—Into the Light
by Shannen Yauger
Inspiring true story
This is an inspiring introduction to Helen Keller, her life, and what it might be like to have disabilities. It’s easy to read for young children, and can pique an interest in Braille and sign language.
A true treasure for young readers
My 7-year-old read this book aloud to me. I love the story of Helen Keller, so I was thrilled to see a simplified version for the young reader. The language was easy to follow but the story was true to history and brought up many interesting discussion points for my son and I. This is definitely a must-read.
Inspired
This biography was perfect for my young reader. She loved that Helen was a real girl who lived. The story is written so well that my girl on her own, wrote a story about being Helen Keller’s friend and what it would have been like to be there for her. It really is written in a perfect way to connect a young reader to someone from our history.
Wonderful
My daughter loved reading this book! I loved that she was learning about the wonderful, inspiring, Helen Keller. The illustrations are so nice. Highly recommend this reader.
Introduction to Helen Keller
This is a great early biography to introduce children to Helen Keller. The chapters are just the right length and illustrations are great, especially the signs. Biographies are great way to learn about the difficulties of other people and how they overcame them. This one is no exception.
Level 3A
Close your eyes and pretend you cannot see or hear anything. You cannot tell your family what you want or need. You might cry and yell just like Helen Keller did! Now think about having a teacher come into your life who will never give up on you. That’s what Annie Sullivan did for Helen. Learn about the story of Helen Keller as she goes from a young child who is mad because she can’t see, hear, or talk to her loved ones to a smart and capable young woman who can speak, read Braille, and even write books!
