"Most people measure their happiness in terms of physical pleasure and material possession. Could they win some visible goal which they have set on the horizon, how happy they could be! Lacking this gift or that circumstance, they would be miserable. If happiness is to be so measured, I who cannot hear or see have every reason to sit in a corner with folded hands and weep. If I am happy in spite of my deprivations, if my happiness is so deep that it is a faith, so thoughtful that it becomes a philosophy of life, - if, in short, I am an optimist, my testimony to the creed of optimism is worth hearing." - Helen Keller

To say Helen Keller is one of the most unique figures in American history would be an understatement. As a young child, Helen lost both her vision and hearing, leaving her deafblind, an almost hopelessly debilitating condition that left her literally trapped, unable to communicate with anyone. As she would later write, "My life was without past or future; death, the pessimist would say, 'a consummation devoutly to be wished.'" Nobody would have blamed her for being hopelessly frustrated and imprisoned by her disabilities; in fact, that was to be expected. When her famous teacher, Anne Sullivan, brought Helen a doll and tried to teach her a few words by spelling them into her hand, the child became so frustrated that she broke the doll.

Helen Keller
I always loved the story of Helen Keller she was such a remarkable woman and her teacher wow what a great teacher. Those two made an awesome pair helping each other.
When I saw I could download this on my Kindle I did so for my eight year old granddaughter and she read the story, also there are pictures which she likes. This story is so different than others I have read about Helen Keller and so easy to understand, it even talks about the college she is attends very informative, this is a must read story and also having it on the Kindle love it.
Love that it takes such little time to download on my Kindle and all my books are right there.
Exactly what I was looking for.
A brilliant story that I shared with my children who had never considered anyone who was blind deaf and dumb before. A real eye opener for them.

The life of Helen Keller
This book is a great book. I would give it five stars. It is a little hard for 4th grade and lower readers to understand but if a parent can read it to you , then kids will realize how great the book is.
