What Parents Need to Know
About The Man Who Walked Between the Towers
Parents need to know that Philippe Petit's awe-inspiring tightrope adventure a quarter of a mile in the air was extremely dangerous. Gerstein's illustrations are so successful at giving the reader a sense of perspective from the incredible height of the Twin Towers that some readers may experience a feeling of vertigo from looking at them.
