This breathtaking story of Philippe Petit‘s daring tightrope walk between the Twin Towers is a tribute to creativity, determination, and living life with boldness.

Nonfiction - Published in 2003. 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.

My recent trip to NYC, and 9/11 Museum definitely sparked the desire read this. No words can really explain the day; one I personally remember vividly.

You could use this book in the classroom in many ways. I would use it when educating my class about the events of 9/11 (before reading the book) or for social-emotional ideas. Never be afraid to follow your dreams, work hard, and don't give up.
