The Man Who Walked Between the Towers (2004)

In 1974, French aerialist Philippe Petit stretched a tightrope between the twin towers of the World Trade Center and spent nearly an hour walking, dancing, and performing high above the city. Through lyrical storytelling and luminous artwork, this picture book captures the daring, beauty, and breathtaking drama of his unforgettable feat, including sweeping foldout spreads that place readers right in the sky beside him.
