#ConflictedWorlds Day 4: #PersonVsDisability - In just a few pages, both author and illustrator captured the essence of Helen‘s travails and triumphs from childhood to old age, her disappointments and her steadfastness. I was able to catch a glimpse of her refreshing wit while she performed on stage, as well as marveled at her determined and willful spirit through her many advocacies.

This book was inspiring and amazing. It was published in 2012, and is a biography/true story of the life of Helen Keller. Although one may know some general facts about Helen Keller upon hearing her name, this book elaborates on this amazing woman's life including the struggles and successes of her life.
This book had beautiful and almost true to life illustrations. By this meaning that many of them looked as though they were photographs.

em_lemo Something that stuck out to me in this book was,
“She loved the mockingbird song and the sweet smell of climbing roses.“
I liked this because this is describing the life of Helen when she was still in her infancy years. I loved how descriptive the book was throughout, and it made me think that maybe the purpose of being so detailed throughout the book would be to allow those who may not be able to see to imagine and experience these ideas.

Helen‘s Big World by Doreen Rappaport and illustrated by Matt Tavares, 2012. Another wonderful biography by Doreen Rappaport that breathes new life into an already poignant story about an amazing woman.
