BOSTON, Dec. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Water Tree Way is a bold and deep story full of wonder and action on the surface, with some of the most profound lessons of the ages beautifully nestled within. In it, we follow Jai (pronounced Jay), a brave, energetic, free-spirited ten-year-old girl, on a fantastical and often humorous adventure in a land of anthropomorphic trees, insects, birds, and celestial bodies. Jai discovers that life's most profound lessons come from outlandish dreams and dazzling blunders. She learns about risk-taking, love, loss, forgiveness, acceptance, the perils of revenge, failure, helping others, and finding strength after a fall.
"The Water Tree Way is a story full of magic and adventure. It's a book of wise messages to be enjoyed by old and young alike, and it comes at a very pertinent time." – Primatologist, Anthropologist, Author, UN Messenger of Peace Dr. Jane Goodall.

Mendelson doesn't shy away from heavy topics, brilliantly reshaping them with positive, child-friendly imagery. Her intent in writing the book is to offer a source of hope, inspiration, and empowerment for readers of all ages.
