A review by oliviak07
Annie Sullivan and the Trials of Helen Keller by Joseph Lambert
4.0
The second of two books I have read this summer regarding Annie and Helen and their years after the aha moment with 'water', Joseph Lambert's graphic novel was wonderful in how it flowed, and how it showed readers a side of Annie Sullivan most do not get further information on when learning about both figures. We see what made her brilliantly stubborn, and completely empathetic, in her rewarding approach to Helen's language acquisition.
I was also pleased that the author showed Annie's opinion on the work of Alexander Graham Bell, and how he tried his hardest to eliminate the use of American Sign Language (ASL).
When I become an interpreter in the early education, library, and community setting and are asked what books I would recommend to students (Deaf, Hard of Hearing, or Hearing) that are interested in or learning about Annie and Helen, this will be one of the titles I will give.
