Itzhak - a boy who loved the violin is a beautifully illustrated account of violinist Itzhak Perlman's early life and career that will inspire and delight young musicians.
Young Itzhak was mesmerised by the music he heard on his family's kitchen radio in their humble Tel Aviv apartment and so began playing the violin at four years old. A dangerous bout of polio left him unable to run or jump - but it couldn't stop his passion for the violin.
