The Man Who Walked Between The Towers by Mordicai Gerstein
An illustrated retelling of a daring, unauthorized high-wire walk staged in 1974 when a lithe performer secretly rigged a cable between New York’s twin towers and spent an early morning walking, dancing, and balancing high above the city; the narrative celebrates his meticulous planning, the hush and wonder of the crowd below, and the lyric mix of risk, joy, and artistry that transformed a reckless act into a breathtaking declaration of human imagination.
