I try to regularly submit reviews of picture books over at Just One Book, which is a fantastic site for learning about the art and literature of picture books. They recently published an audio review I did on the book, The Man Who Walked Between the Towers by Mordicai Gerstein. It’s a fantastic read about Philippe Petit’s daring escapade between the Twin Towers that no longer stand (after 9-11).
Here is my podcast review of this wonderful story.
(And here is a link to my collection of graphic novel and picture book reviews, if you are interested).
Peace (in books),
Kevin
Thanks for the link to all of your reviews! I didn’t realize that you reviewed for those two sites. Love your review of Traction Man!
LOVED Man on Wire. Great documentary!
Bonnie
I know … I have to see the movie (we are wrapped up on The Wire right now).
And, Franki, glad you liked Traction Man. Great book.

Kia ora Kevin
An amazing documentary about an historical feat – never to be repeated! Thanks for that.
For as much as I saw the 9/11 disaster, ad nauseam on TV as we all did, I am always struck, almost with disbelief, that these icons of architecture where demolished in the time it took me to learn about it all happening. I still come across films (usually on TV) and documentaries with scenes of the Towers taken long before 9/11, books with the Towers likewise well featured in their photographs.
Best wishes for the coming year
