A Sinhala children's book by Sybil Wettasinghe, who both wrote and illustrated it. The text is in Sinhala throughout, with no English translation, so it will suit readers of Sinhala, families raising children bilingually abroad, or anyone collecting Sri Lankan children's literature in the original language.
Wettasinghe was a children's author and an artist, and her books are as much drawn as written. The publisher describes this one as filled with pictures made to hold a child's attention and shaped around how young children respond to what they see — the illustration is not decoration added to a finished story but part of how the book works.
It is issued by M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd of Colombo, a long-standing Sinhala-language publishing house. An ebook version is also available.
