A Sinhala colouring book for children, compiled by Piyal Udaya Samaraweera with an eye to how young children think and work. The text throughout is Sinhala, so buyers outside Sri Lanka should know that any written matter on the pages will not be in English — though colouring work itself travels easily enough across languages.
The publisher describes the book as having two aims held together: developing children's creative ability, and feeding their minds with good moral qualities. It is also put forward as useful to teachers who take art as a subject in schools, which suggests it is meant to sit as comfortably in a classroom as at a kitchen table at home.
It comes from M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, a long-established Colombo publishing house working in Sinhala and English, with a steady presence in school and children's publishing.
Likely to suit Sinhala-speaking families abroad looking for material in the language for younger children, and teachers of Sinhala or of art who want something made for a Sri Lankan classroom rather than adapted to one.
