I'm not a fun of most non-fiction books but this one is I think readable. I enjoyed the journey reading this book and quite understand the importance of a lot of things especially those "little things."
I also relate to Miss Sullivan's eagerness to teach Helen throughout her education years.

All I knew about Helen Keller prior to reading this was that she was deaf, blind, and an activist. I wanted to learn how she was able to function while only relying on touch, smell and taste. This book answered that and it showed me her personality, which is cool.
Being a short memoir, this book isnt super engaging, but it is super descriptive; Helen Keller likes to write decoratively.

I don't know how I haven't read this book earlier, especially given how short it is.
Incredible book. Gives you a strong appreciation of how much we rely on sight and sound. Helen Keller is a compelling author - she has read so much and refers to the authors and poets that she grows to know on a personal level. I love the constant description of smells and touches.
