A collection of stories for young children by Chandrika Wijesundara, published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. The text is entirely in Sinhala, with no English translation, so it will suit readers who are comfortable in the language — Sinhala-speaking families abroad, parents reading aloud to children at home, or teachers working with early readers.
The publisher describes the book as written with an understanding of how small children think and what they wish for, and as intended to help shape good qualities and attitudes in them. The stories draw on children's natural attachment to the world around them and the pleasure they take in it.
Books of this kind form part of ordinary Sinhala childhood reading in Sri Lanka, and families living outside the country often find them difficult to come by. If you are building a small Sinhala library for a child growing up overseas, or looking for straightforward bedtime reading in the language, this is that sort of book.
M. D. Gunasena & Co. is a long-established Colombo publishing house producing books in Sinhala and English, including a steady list of children's titles and school reading.
