The Man Who Walked Between The Towers by Mordicai Gerstein Caldecott Medal Winner Children's Picture Book Hardcover, with dust jacket in very good pre-owned condition. Small crease in one of the fold out pages, see pic #7. The story of a daring tightrope walk between skyscrapers, as seen in Robert Zemeckis's The Walk, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. 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. ---------- I try very hard to capture any flaws or issues when I take the listing photos but on occasion I may miss something. Please forgive me if I do! Always feel free to ask for more photos and/or ask questions if you would like further details before purchasing. Almost all vintage books, hardcover and paperbacks are going to show signs of their age and usage that impact the condition. But condition can be somewhat subjective; what doesn't bother me (like tanning or foxing) might bother you so please contact me if you have any concerns with your purchase before leaving a review. When tracking shows the package has been delivered, I cannot give a refund if the package is stolen or can't be found. Once it's in the hands of the post office, all I can do is direct you as to how to proceed with an inquiry.
