Product Description
Nine-year-old Hannah would do almost anything to go to school with all the other children in town. But Hannah is blind and her parents keep her at home where she is "safe." Then Lydia Robbin comes to town. She's a strong-willed teacher who accomplishes a small miracle: she convinces Hannah's parents to send her to school. At first Hannah is overjoyed. But she soon learns that there are many obstacles--and people-- that stand in the way of her education. Hannah will need tremendous courage to prove to her classmates, her parents and herself that Miss Robbin was right to believe in her.

Hannah by Gloria Whelan Do you know anybody that's blind? Well, if
you do or don't, then you should check out Hannah
by Gloria Whelan. It's a great book about a girl
named Hannah. She will bring happiness and
sadness to your heart.
I learned that blind people can still be like
normal people. Hannah reminded me of Helen
Keller. So, please read Hannah!

This is a wonderful story set in the late 1800's. The story is about a little girl who is blind. No one has ever allowed Hannah to try to do anything for herself. That is, until a new teacher comes to town. She is always referred to as "poor Hannah". At first glance this is a story about a teacher who helps a little blind girl succeed in her struggle to become more independent. Not only does Hannah struggle with independence, but her parents struggle even harder with the thought of Hannah trying and failing at doing things herself. However, the end message is that not only does she learn courage, but family and friends learn about courage also. Everyone wins in this story. Enjoy!
 A nice story May 19, 2000

This book does a good job dealing with the subject of blindness. Hannah is considered the "poor blind child" at the beginning, until a new teacher comes to town who encourages her parents to allow Hannah to attend school with all of the other children. Hannah does blossom, makes friends, and is introduced to braille. My only wish for this book would have been to give Hannah a cane to become independent in her mobility, as she only led around by people and does does get lost on her own once. But all in all, this is a very nice story.
