The Man Who Walked Between the Towers
Gerstein, Mordicai, writer and illustrator
Medium:
Book
Commentary
Children’s book about the acrobat Phillipe Petit’s desire to string a high wire across the World Trade Center. Suspenseful, artistically beautiful, and puts the Twin Towers in context (age-appropriately).
Notes
For more detailed takes on Petit, see the feature film The Walk and the documentary Man on Wire.
