In 1974, as the World Trade Center was being completed, a young French aerialist, Philippe Petit, threw a tightrope between the two towers and spent almost an hour walking, dancing, and performing tricks a quarter of a mile in the sky. "Just as the massive towers of the World Trade Center remain in memory, so too does the image of a young man walking in the air between them--here given expression by a master picture book artist.".
