In the early morning hours of August 7, 1974, Philippe Petit stepped out onto a wire suspended between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. For the next 45 minutes, he walked, danced, and lay down on the wire, 110 stories above the ground. His daring feat of engineering and athleticism captivated the world and became a symbol of hope and possibility.

The Man Who Walked Between The Towers is the Caldecott Medal-winning book that tells the story of Petit's incredible journey.
