Features: Helen Keller. One of the greatest blind and deaf writers and educators of the 20th century. Born healthy and lively, exceptionally intelligent, but at 19 months old, a severe illness took away her sight and hearing, plunging her into a dark, silent world. At the age of six, the loving teacher Anne Sullivan came into her life, changing Helen Keller's destiny. Helen Keller learned to communicate using Braille and helped countless people open their hearts to the world. With a strong thirst for knowledge, Helen Keller never yielded to her physical limitations. To understand this beautiful world, she learned multiple languages. To communicate more directly with others, she overcame her hearing impairment to learn to speak. Though she lived in a world of darkness and silence, she used her indomitable will to create a miracle of life. The deaf and blind Helen Keller, with an unyielding heart, accepted the challenges life threw at her, found her own light in the darkness, and spread the warmth of her heart across the world.
