Exciting and Beautiful submitted by cbrewster on August 26, 2013, 5:52pm Amazing illustrations! There is a reason that this book was a Caldecott winner. The story is exciting and inspirational. It teaches children to follow there dreams no matter how difficult that will be.

What an incredible bit of history! submitted by Kikumatsu97 on June 24, 2016, 6:30pm My son has Autism and has been obsessed with the two towers, but inevitably with their structural and architectural interst comes the tradgedy of 911, but this points solely to the amazing and wonderful art of balance and somehow creates a beautiful effect on the memory of what was. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to see great illustration and wonderful stories about the potential of personal power. A *special thanks to Ms. Laura at the downtown branch for always being full of great suggestions, no matter how obscure the topic :^)
