| 'The Man Who Walked Between The Towers' |
On Sunday, Sept. 11, 2011 at 1:00 p.m., the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art will present: From Towers and Tragedy to the Birth of a Book with Mordicai Gerstein.. This very special presentation, as well as museum admission for the day is offered FREE to the public.
In 2004, Gerstein’s picture book for children, The Man Who Walked Between The Towers, was awarded the prestigious Caldecott Medal. It is the true story of Philippe Petit the man who walked between the twin towers of the World Trade Center in 1974, suspended high above New York City on a wire cable. It is a beautifully illustrated and uplifting story that honors this day of remembrance.
