A short story book for young readers, from one of the later series of children's titles written by Sybil Wettasinghe, the Sri Lankan writer and illustrator whose picture books have been read by generations of children on the island.
It is set in large type across a small number of pages, which makes it suited to primary school children — those reading on their own for the first time, or reading aloud with an adult beside them. Colour paintings run through the book, pitched at the eye of a young child.
This is the English edition, published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co., a long-established Sri Lankan publisher and bookseller. For families abroad who want their children reading Sri Lankan stories in English, or for teachers and librarians building a collection of South Asian picture books, it is a straightforward and gentle place to begin.
