The Man Who Walked Between the Towers is a nonfiction book about a man who walked between the Twin Towers. It is about a man named Philippe Petit who was a tightrope walker. One day, after much practice, Petit walked between the Twin Towers on a tight rope.
This book could be used in the classroom at any time, but I feel like it would be especially useful around September 11. Most of your students will know about the Twin Towers and what they used to be- and this book could really instill what the Twin Towers were. It could create a lot of discussion about 9-11 and introduce some of the younger students (2nd grade) to nonfiction texts.
