Mirette On the High Wire
Book under the .rtf section of the website. The book needs a spell check,
besides that should be a easy validation. Was the winner of the 1993
Caldecott Medal, and is another story about tight rope walking.
One day, a mysterious stranger arrives at the boardinghouse of the widow
Gâteau-a sad-faced stranger, who keeps to himself. When the widow's
daughter, Mirette, discovers him crossing the courtyard on air, she begs him
to teach her how he does it.
But Mirette doesn't know that the stranger was once the Great Bellini-
master wire-walker. Or that Bellini has been stopped by a terrible fear. And
it is she who must teach him courage once again.
Emily Arnold McCully's sweeping watercolor paintings carry the reader over
the rooftops of nineteenth-century Paris, and into an elegant, beautiful
world of acrobats, jugglers, mimes, actors, and one gallant, resourceful
little girl.

The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to
stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.
