The story of a daring tightrope walk between skyscrapers, as seen in Robert Zemeckis’sThe Walk,starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

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 Towersis 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.
