As the world grapples with the environmental crises of the 21st century, it becomes more important than ever to mould an ecologically conscious generation — one that understands and cares about our natural resources, including water. Drawing from a similar strand of thought, author and urban researcher, Minaz Ansari will engage with Mumbai’s young readers in an interactive session centred on her book, Paani Party at the Prabhadevi-based bookstore, Kahani Tree. Published by The People Place Project and supported by Living Waters Museum, as  part of their exhibition on Mumbai’s water  stories, it sheds light on the issue of water conservation and celebrates the many wonders of water through its protagonists, nine-year old Aryan and his grandfather.
