A short picture book in Sinhala, written for children in the primary grades. The text is set in large type across a small number of pages, and the story is carried along by colour illustrations on the way through.
It belongs to a newer series of children's stories by Sybil Wettasinghe, the Sri Lankan author and illustrator whose picture books have been read by generations of Sinhala-speaking children. The publisher is M. D. Gunasena & Co. of Colombo, a long-established Sri Lankan house.
Please note that the book is entirely in Sinhala. There is no English text and no parallel translation, so it suits households where a parent or grandparent reads Sinhala aloud, children learning to read the script, and Sri Lankan families abroad keeping the language alive at home. The large letters and short length make it manageable for a child who is still sounding words out.
