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 Towers is the winner of the 2004 Caldecott Medal, the winner of the 2004 Boston Globe - Horn Book Award for Picture Books, and the winner of the 2006 Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Children's Video.Binding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Mordicai GersteinPublisher: Roaring Brook PressPublished: 09/05/2003ISBN: 9780761317913Pages: 40Weight: 0.80lbsSize: 11.10h x 8.10w x 0.40dAward: Delaware Diamonds Award - WinnerAward: Caldecott Medal - WinnerAward: Carnegie Medal - WinnerAward: Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards - WinnerReview Citations: Kirkus Review - Children 08/01/2003 pg. 1017Publishers Weekly 09/01/2003 pg. 89Booklist 11/01/2003 pg. 498Horn Book Magazine 11/01/2003 pg. 763School Library Journal 11/01/2003 pg. 125Kirkus Review - Children 12/01/2003 pg. 1403Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks 12/01/2003 pg. 152 - Book Of Special DistinctionSLJ's Best Books 12/01/2003 pg. 46New York Times 11/16/2003 pg. 31New York Times 12/07/2003 pg. 86ALA Notable Children's Books 03/15/2004 pg. 1291Hornbook Guide to Children 07/01/2003 pg. 177 - Outstanding, Noteworthy In StyleHornbook Guide to Children 01/01/2004 pg. 177 - Outstanding, Noteworthy In StyleSchool Library Journal 10/01/2004Accelerated Reader Quiz #/Name: 77196 / Man Who Walked Between the TowersReading Level: 3.7 / Interest Level: Lower Grade / Point Value: 0.5
