Annie and Helen by Deborah Hopkinson

4.0

Deborah Hopkinson's story of Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller really brings the story of Helen's life and Annie's teaching to life. With the help of Raul Colon's illustrations and quotes from letters of Annie's, the reader truly understands what it was like for Annie and Helen.

Since I teach Hurt Go Happy which is about a deaf young lady named Joey, this book will be a great picture book to include during that unit. My students are always fascinated to learn sign language and this book will be a great one to introduce the alphabet as well as two amazing ladies in history.
