Edumanga Hellen Adams Keller (GN)

Edu-Manga is a term coined in Japan which means Educational Manga or comics. In this new line of books from Digital Manga, the extraordinary lives of historical giants are retold in a unique format that younger readers can easily understand and enjoy. Kids will appreciate the added flavor of Japanese manga, with manga-style art and storytelling, presented as originally published in right to left reading orientation.

Astro Boy, one of Japan's most popular icons among children, journeys alongside the reader. He provides for kids not only a history lesson but also a richer understanding of the life lessons these historical figures share with us.


Helen Keller was robbed of her sight, hearing and speech at an early age due to a childhood illness. Nevertheless, she overcame her disabilities with the love and tenacious teachings of her tutor Anne Sullivan and the encouragement of other individuals such as Alexander Graham Bell. This is the courageous story of one woman's amazing triumph of will over her impairments and the inspiring legacy she left behind.

Join Astro Boy and his friends as they learn what it is like to live without something we take for granted everyday.
