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.\n\nAfter 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 Ed Sullivan Show at only 13, audiences around the world were mesmerized by the warmth, joy, and passion in every note.\n\nGorgeously illustrated with extensive back matter, Itzhak: A Boy Who Loved the Violin recounts Itzhak’s childhood journey—from a boy with a dream to an internationally acclaimed violin virtuoso.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1419741101\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1419741101.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Newman, Tracy|Halpin, Abigail\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
