From the acclaimed author of Bartali's Bicycle comes the inspiring
story of violin virtuoso Isaac Stern and his mission to save the
beloved Carnegie Hall from demolition. When Carnegie Hall first
opened its doors in 1891, no one could have predicted its
incredible success. With talented artists like Duke Ellington and
Albert Einstein gracing its stage, the hall quickly became a place
where all people-no matter their skin color, religion, or social
status-could come together under one roof to be entertained. People
like Isaac Stern. The son of Jewish immigrants who fled war-torn
Ukraine for America to escape the Holocaust, Isaac was a talented
violinist whose dream of one day performing on Carnegie Hall's
legendary stage came true, many times over. So when a real estate
tycoon sets out to demolish Carnegie Hall, Isaac knew something had
to be done to preserve decades of hopes, dreams, and inclusivity.
Author Megan Hoyt and illustrator Katie Hickey tell the true story
of one man's fight to save a historical landmark whose timeless
symbol of equality will forever stand the test of time.
