A Tamil children's book by Sybil Wettasinghe, the Sri Lankan author and illustrator whose picture books have been read by generations of children on the island. The bracketed title, Ha Pencha, is the Sinhala name the story carries; Muyal Kutti is the Tamil, and both point to a young rabbit.
The text is in Tamil throughout, so this is a book for Tamil-reading households — families raising children in the language in Sri Lanka or abroad, relatives sending books home, and teachers and libraries building Tamil-medium collections for young readers. A buyer who does not read Tamil should know that before ordering; there is no English in it.
Wettasinghe wrote and drew for children across a long career, and her work has circulated widely in Sinhala, Tamil and English in Sri Lanka. For Tamil-speaking families outside the country, editions like this one are often the simplest way to put a familiar Sri Lankan children's story into a child's hands in their own script.
