Helen Keller: The World in Her Heart
by Lesa Cline-Ransome and James Ransome

For Helen Keller, w-a-t-e-r was a cool, slippery splash. S-u-n was the warm afternoon glow coating her skin.  L-i-l-y was a sweet-smelling petal, soft and  delicate to her touch.  This evocative portrait reminds us that there are many ways to experience the world through the senses--but the most important things in life are savored within the heart.
