A Sinhala picture book for young readers, written by Sybil Wettasinghe and published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena. The text is entirely in Sinhala, with no English translation, so it will suit households where a child is reading or being read to in the language.
It belongs to Wettasinghe's newest series of children's story books. The book is short and set in large type, which makes it appropriate for children in the primary grades who are beginning to read on their own. Colour illustrations run through it — the kind of pictures meant to hold a small child's attention while an adult reads aloud.
Sybil Wettasinghe was a Sri Lankan writer and illustrator who worked in children's books, and she both wrote and drew her stories. Her work is familiar to generations of Sinhala-reading children, and books like this one are often bought by families abroad who want their children to keep up a reading habit in Sinhala.
