A Sinhala picture book for young children by Sybil Wettasinghe, the illustrator and children's author whose work is familiar to generations of Sri Lankan readers. The text is entirely in Sinhala, with no English translation, so it will suit readers of the language or families raising children with it abroad.
It belongs to a series Wettasinghe prepared specifically for small children, set in large type. Books of that kind are made for the stage when a child is beginning to recognise letters and words on the page, and for reading aloud with an adult nearby.
Wettasinghe wrote and illustrated her own books, and the pictures carry as much of the story as the words do — something worth knowing if you are buying for a child who does not yet read Sinhala but is being introduced to it.
