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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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 disabled for life--Itzhak persevered, honing his extraordinary gift. When he performed on the \u003ci\u003eEd Sullivan Show \u003c\/i\u003eat only 13, audiences around the world were mesmerized by the warmth, joy, and passion in every note. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Gorgeously illustrated with extensive back matter, \u003ci\u003eItzhak: A Boy Who Loved the Violin\u003c\/i\u003e recounts Itzhak's childhood journey--from a boy with a dream to an internationally acclaimed violin virtuoso. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracy Newman\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of many books for young readers, including the . . .
