By Mordicai Gerstein
A thin wire stretches between two towers, high above New York City, and Philippe Petit steps out into the sky. This lyrical picture book tells the true story of Petit's daring 1974 walk between the World Trade Center towers. With graceful words and dramatic illustrations, Mordicai Gerstein captures both the careful planning and the breathtaking beauty of a moment that seemed almost impossible. For young readers, this is a story about courage, balance, imagination, and the strange magic of doing something no one expects. It also gently preserves the memory of the towers, making the book both thrilling and quietly moving.
