The Story of Helen Keller Lorena A Hickok 9780448055473 Books

I read this book when I was a little girl and my copy was falling apart. I wanted my granddaughter to read it now that she is into chapter books. It really is a great read about the life of Helen Keller. My granddaughter is in 2nd grade and is a good reader. The book has some challenging words in it, but it has really inspired her to read more historical biographies. Definitely a book to recommend.

The Story of Helen Keller Lorena A Hickok 9780448055473 Books Reviews

This book is the first one I remember reading as a child. I reread it again and again, and fell head over heels for Helen Keller and her story. She became one of my best-loved heroes, and still is today.

It wasn't until I was an adult that I found out about the part of the story that wasn't told in the book. There is much more to Helen's life than the epiphany at the well and meeting famous people.

Helen was a dedicated activist for social change. An ardent socialist and member of the Industrial Workers of the World (also known as the IWW or "Wobblies"), she was an impassioned antiwar activist and suffragist. She was an advocate of birth control before it was popular to be so, and also founded the National Foundation for the Blind.

There was so much more to Helen Keller than this book (and I'm afraid most others written until recently) tells us about. I realise that a book for children can't cover everything, but to leave out the activism and pacifist work she did is a form of censorship. She believed in what she was doing, and if her story is to be told, it should be told entire.

The Story of Helen Keller is a well-written book as far as readability, but its content is severely lacking.
I highly recommend this easy read for all children. Parents and Grandparents, read it with your youngsters. Having been born into poverty and abuse I found this book when I was 11 years old. This story inspired me and lifted me up as a young child. I loved Helen's story so much, I must have read it a dozen times. As I grew up and all through these 55 years, I reflected on all that Helen had to overcome and all that she was able to achieve. It was, most likely, THE reason, I was able to persevere in extremely hard times and overcome the obstacles and hardships in my life. In a world where there is little gratitude instilled in our children, this book will surely touch the hearts of and inspire all who read it.
I bought this because I was hoping to find them cheaper than they were in the stores. This was just as good as ordering from a store! I would recommend them to anyone.
A gift , enjoyed
Good story as expected but the book I received didn't meet the condition I had in mind as described by the seller. It was quite tattered.
I read this book when I was in elementary school and thought my daughter would enjoy it as well. It turned out to be one of her favorite books. This book hasn't lost its impact over the years and I highly recommend it. My daughter used this book for a biography book report she was required to complete in class.
I read this book over and over as a child. I recently bought it for a young friend of mine. Helen Keller's story can still teach children how persistence can overcome major obstacles. Don't tell anybody but I had to read it again before I wrapped it for my friend.
