David Grossman is considered to be one of the greatest contemporary writers and novelists, known for his direct and compelling style. His most successful books include The Zigzag Kid and Someone to Run With. At a superficial reading, these stories might seem written for a very young readership. This is certainly true for the stories of Itamar, such as A Brand New Baby Brother for Itamar, where he cannot help wondering what the new addition to the family will be like. Two of his stories have been set to music by maestro Andrea Basevi to give sound and voice to children’s dreams.
