Helen Keller her life in pictures / George Sullivan


"Helen Keller her life in pictures" is primarily a book of black and white photos of Helen Keller, the two significant translators in her life and the important people she met in her lifetime. The photos are beautifully done and are well complimented by the white pages with black text. The text gives the highlights of Keller's life; her accomplishments, her important contacts, her charity work and even her political proclivities.

Although the text for this book is not very extensive or detailed, it is clearly written and logically presented in a chronological order. Assuming all of the facts are correct, this book would prove to be a nice introduction for any younger child that has a couple of years reading under his or her belt. This book is certainly not an highly detailed, but is just right for a child who is simply curious about Kelller's life, or for a younger child who is possibly doing a project on a famous person.
