A picture book for young children by Sybil Wettasinghe, the Sri Lankan author and illustrator, published in English by M. D. Gunasena & Co. of Colombo.
It belongs to a series of large letter books Wettasinghe made for young children, in which the text is set in oversized type on the page. Wettasinghe wrote and illustrated children's books over a long career, and her drawing is as much the substance of her books as the words are.
This is a children's title rather than a work about Sri Lanka, though it comes from one of the island's long-established trade publishers and carries the look of Sinhala children's publishing abroad. Parents and grandparents buying for a child outside Sri Lanka, teachers assembling a classroom shelf, and collectors following Wettasinghe's work will each find a reason for it. It is a slim book, meant to be read aloud and looked at together.
