My son absolutely loved this book. He was fascinated with Anne and Helen. I’m so glad he enjoyed it.
I read this book prior to my daughter reading it for her book study this summer. She is my only public school student and wasn’t excited to read this, to be honest. Turns out, we both enjoyed it! “The Touch of Magic” was our favorite and we found the life of Annie Sullivan to be fascinating. Of course, Helen Keller in “The Story of my Life” was inspirational and heroic.
Annie Sullivan had a very hard childhood. With her life experience, she was meant to teach Helen Keller. What an amazing pair they made! Annie sacrificed so much to give Helen an education.
I am in awe at the literary genius of Helen Keller. Even though she was blind and deaf, she could write beautifully, read literature in many different languages, and graduate from college. She couldn’t have done it without Annie. The two were inseparable, and so to combine their two stories into one volume is perfect in every way! You’ll be inspired by their perseverance, love of life and learning, and words of wisdom.
I really enjoyed learning so much more about the life of Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller. Annie Sullivan is a quiet hero who faced much hardship throughout her life. Despite her trials, she focused on bringing hope and life to someone else and was able to accomplish amazing things in the life of another because of her selflessness. Helen Keller was such a determined child and woman as well, and she recognized much of Annie’s sacrifice for her. The friendship and caring that these two women had for each other is beautiful to watch.
This book is amazing! I have learned so much! The writing caught my attention immediately! Fantastic book!
