Man Who Walked Between the Towers
Many children s book authors and illustrators grappled with how and if to commemorate the tragedies of 9, 11. Mordicai Gerstein chose a beautiful way to do it. His Caldecott Award winner gives us adventure, suspense, delight and, of course, sadness as he tells the story of Philippe Petit, a tightrope acrobat who did indeed walk between the World Trade Towers in 1974.
