Itzhak Perlman discovered his love for music and the violin as a small boy. After battling polio, his focused his energy into learning to play, and by his early teens we a very accomplished violinist. Grit, determination and talent made Itzhak Perlman the best violinist in the world. 

Abigail Halpin's illustrations are beautiful! Young Itzhak is so cute and there is so much music on every page, I love it!!! The story is well told, and there is also an extensive author's note which includes a timeline, notes a bibliography and internet links to videos of Perlman.
