Helen Keller by David A. Adler

This is a biography for early elementary readers. In this book Adler tells the story of Helen Keller's life-from how she became deaf and blind at the age of 2 to how she eventually met the President of the United States and inspired people all around the world.
This book is good for beginning readers because the text is large and the words are simple yet Adler still tells Keller's story in a meaningful way. The watercolor illustrations help explain the story and add to the book's appeal. The positive and essential role of Keller's teacher, Anne Sullivan shows how important teachers can be to their student's lives... a great lesson for young readers.
