Raised by a poor immigrant family in a tiny Tel Aviv apartment, baby Itzhak was transformed by the sounds from his family's kitchen radio--graceful classical symphonies, lively klezmer tunes, and soulful cantorial chants. The rich melodies and vibrant rhythms spoke to him like magic, filling his mind with vivid rainbows of color. After begging his parents for an instrument, Itzhak threw his heart and soul into playing the violin. Despite enormous obstacles--including a near-fatal bout of polio that left him crippled for life--Itzhak persevered, honing his extraordinary gift. When he performed on the <i>Ed Sullivan Show </i>sat only 13, audiences around the world were mesmerized by the warmth, joy, and passion in every note. Gorgeously illustrated with extensive back matter, this picture-book biography recounts Itzhak's childhood journey--from a boy with a dream to an internationally acclaimed violin virtuoso. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"This is a perfect introduction to this violin virtuoso." -- "Booklist"<br><br>"Newman's text paired with Halpin's effective illustrations and design offers an intriguing glimpse into the life of this musician and advocate."-- "School Library Journal"<br><br>"An eye-catching tale of music and perseverance." -- "Kirkus"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Tracy Newman</b> is the author of many books for young readers, including the . . .
