“Most people know the story of Keller learning the word water, but many don’t know about the life of activism she led after that. Pincus tells us about all the things Keller was—deaf-blind, yes, but also an author, activist, friend, and dog lover, among many other things. The didactic and earnest text is accompanied by chunky, colorful illustrations that offer more details for readers to find… It is difficult to bring a fresh perspective to Keller’s story, and the effort made here surpasses many others.”

“This picture book celebrates the many accomplishments of Helen Keller, emphasizing remarkable achievements throughout her entire life that are often overlooked in favor of the story of her early years… Whether adults sharing this book choose to include the biographical asides or just concentrate on the engaging, lyrical lines describing Keller’s attributes, it’s an inviting read-aloud about one of the most influential women of the twentieth century. It also serves as powerful advocacy for individuals with disabilities. A lovely way to expand picture-book biography collections.”

“This thorough look at the subject’s life goes beyond the handful of facts readers may already know, beyond her childhood and her time with Annie Sullivan…A highly recommended purchase for filling out reports or enjoying on its own.”
