A Sinhala picture book for young children by Sybil Wettasinghe, the illustrator and children's author. It belongs to a series she prepared for small children, set in large type.
The text is entirely in Sinhala, with no English translation, so it will suit households reading in Sinhala, children learning to read the script, or families abroad keeping the language alive at home. Readers who do not read Sinhala will still have Wettasinghe's drawings, which carry much of the storytelling in her work for this age group.
The title means "kite". It is published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co., a long-established Sinhala and English publishing house whose children's list has been familiar to generations of Sri Lankan readers.
Wettasinghe wrote and illustrated for children over a long career in Sri Lanka, and her books are a standard part of early reading in Sinhala. This one is pitched at the youngest end of that readership — short, large-lettered, and meant to be read aloud or worked through slowly by a beginner.
