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.
