Fanny Crosby

by Lucille Travis

Overview

If you've ever picked up a hymn book, the chances are that you've sung a song written by a blind girl... and not just any blind girl... Fanny Crosby. As a young child she knew nothing of the sighted world around her but that didn't stop her interacting with nature, experiencing the thrill of God's creation. She held her grandmother's hand but she thought that was because Grandmother needed her help not the other way around.

About the Author

Lucille Travis has written several books for children, held children's writing workshops, taught college-level English, and lectured on Christian literature. Her interest in writing began as a young girl living in an orphanage in upstate New York, and she was encouraged when she received a bronze medal in a state-wide essay contest and later a poetry contest. One of her joys today is encouraging the efforts of young writers. She has also been involved in Children's Awana clubs as a story teller.
