1. Anne Sullivan stayed as a companion to Helen Keller long after she taught her. Anne married John Macy in 1905, and her health started failing around 1914. Polly Thomson was hired to keep the house in good shape. She was a young woman from Scotland who had no experience with deaf or blind people.             

   
   

   I liked this book about Helen Keller because She had avery inspiring life to share and to learn lessons from. I think this book would be appropriate for ages 7 and up because it is easy to read and has a fair amount of pages.
