The Man Who Walked Between the Towers

1st: The kids went wild over this book. The niece kept asking me if this was made up. She couldn't believe this was something that was possible. I had to show her the real live photo of him doing this. My nephew thought this was the coolest thing ever. Every drawing of the walk he said, WOW! They both loved the fold outs in the book of the towers. It was fun to read with them and see their amazement.The book did a nice job catching the spirit of the event. The art has a movement to it. I love the picture of the birds close to Phillip. It is such a wonderful story to tell. It seems like something a children's book would make up and yet it is something that actually happened.I did see this documentary years about about this event. It was fascinating. The twin towers was built when New York didn't need more space and the towers were only half full. They were scrambling to get people here. The judge went easy on Phillip because the owners were so pleased with the stunt as it brought positive brilliant attention to the Towers. He saved their bacon. Hearing what he was thinking and feeling on that wire is worth it. It was beautiful. He's also so French. He is a beautiful soul and I'm glad this is immortalized in literature now. It's an enjoyable read.
