Celebrating the history of the New Niagara Falls bi-national region, this toolkit is built around Alexis O’Neill’s beautiful children’s book The Kite that Bridged Two Nations. This is the story of Homan Walsh, a young man who flew his kite across the Niagara River, and whose string became the first thread in a new bridge across the Niagara Gorge. Homan’s story teaches us the value of friendship and the ways in which cooperation can help us persevere in the face of daunting odds.
