A children's story by Sybil Wettasinghe, published in Sinhala by M. D. Gunasena & Co. The text is entirely in Sinhala, so it will suit readers at home in the language, families keeping it up abroad, or collectors of Sri Lankan children's books.
It belongs to a newer series of story books by Wettasinghe. The book is short, set in large type, and intended for children in the primary grades — the kind of book a child can work through alone once reading has begun, or follow on the page while an adult reads aloud. Colour illustrations run through it.
Sybil Wettasinghe is among the best-loved names in Sinhala children's publishing, a writer and illustrator whose picture books have been read by generations of Sri Lankan children. Her stories are written in simple, spoken Sinhala and carried as much by their pictures as by their words.
Readers outside Sri Lanka should note again that there is no English text here. For a child learning to read Sinhala, that is the point of it.
