This Caldecott-award winner tells the story of a French aerialist, Philippe, who decides to tight-rope walk between the twin towers of New York City. The story is told in poetry and beautiful illustrations which capture the surprise of the crowd and the magic in Philippe's walk.
As someone who is afraid of heights, I found my heart beating quickly as I imagined what it must feel like to be up so high on only a tightrope. This is a must-read for any adventurer!
