A children's story by Sybil Wettasinghe, built around the gifts given on the day of the Sinhala New Year. Awurudu is the April new year observed across Sri Lanka, and the giving and receiving of small presents is part of how families mark it.
The book is written in Sinhala throughout, so a reader will need Sinhala to follow it. International buyers should know this before ordering: there is no English text here. It will suit Sinhala-speaking families abroad reading with children, parents keeping the language alive at home, and anyone building a collection of Wettasinghe's work.
Sybil Wettasinghe wrote and illustrated children's books in Sinhala over a long career, and her stories are familiar to generations of readers in Sri Lanka. This one is published by M. D. Gunasena & Co., a long-established Colombo publishing house with a substantial list of Sinhala children's titles.
