The Man with the Violin

Recommended Age Range: 5 to 8

This is a brilliant book – based on a true story – about renowned violinist Joshua Bell. In essence, a beautiful, and free, concert on a cold, January day in a Washington, D.C. metro station was heard by more than a thousand people, yet listened to by very few. A wonderful lesson about the importance of noticing the beauty around us.
