A children's story in Sinhala, built on a Japanese folk tale about a fox cub named Uchi. The title translates roughly as "the day Uchi went to school".
The text is entirely in Sinhala, printed in Sinhala script, with no English translation. Buyers ordering from outside Sri Lanka should know that reading it requires Sinhala; for families abroad raising children in the language, that is often precisely the point.
The author is given as Prof. Kusuma Karunaratne, and the book is published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, a long-established Sinhala and English language publisher.
Folk tales borrowed from one tradition and retold for children in another are a familiar strand of Sinhala children's publishing, and this one sits in that line: a Japanese source story, reworked in Sinhala for young readers.
