Story Time: The Man Who Walked Between the Towers by Mordecai Gerstein

Auntie Breezy reads a picture book called The Man Who Walked Between the Towers, written and illustrated by Mordecai Gerstein. Originally published in 2003 by Roaring Book Press. Special appearance made by one of our cats, Tilda. “In 1974, French aerialist Philippe Petit threw a tightrope between the two towers of the World Trade Center and spent an hour walking, dancing, and performing high-wire tricks a quarter mile in the sky. This picture book captures the poetry and magic of the event with a poetry of its own: lyrical words and lovely paintings that present the detail, daring, and--in two dramatic foldout spreads-- the vertiginous drama of Petit's feat. The Man Who Walked Between the Towers is the winner of the Caldecott Medal, winner of the Boston Globe - Horn Book Award for Picture Books, and winner of the Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Children's Video.” - Macmillan Publishers Age Range: 5 - 8 years
