I had a thin paperback about Helen Keller. The cover was green and had Braille on the back. I also remember watching a movie about her.

I live close enough to the Helen Keller birthplace to see The Miracle Worker every year, and every time I see it, I cry. Believe it or not, I didn’t read a biography of her until last year when I read one to my girls. I’ll have to check some of these books out!

I have seen many movies about the Helen Keller Story. Really amazes me each time. Would certainly love to read this book and glad you got to see it on Broadway.

It sounds like an awesome book! And again, I’m jealous of your proximity to NYC, mostly for Broadway show purposes. =) Certainly not for the crowds or traffic! But for these special moments onstage…

I read Miss Spitfire a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it! Like you, I’ve been interested in Helen Keller and Annie Sullivan since I first read about them, too, and loved learning the finger alphabet. I’m glad you liked this book as well!

Oh, my tween self would have been delighted as well! I too was inspired by a biography of Helen Keller and also enjoyed attempting to learn Braille from the back appendix.
