A Sinhala children's book by Sybil Wettasinghe, who both wrote and illustrated her work. The text is in Sinhala throughout, with no English translation, so it suits readers and families who read the language, or collectors of Sinhala children's literature.
Wettasinghe is known in Sri Lanka as a writer of children's stories and an illustrator, and the pictures here are hers. The publisher describes the illustrations as drawn with children's thinking and attention in mind — the sort of pictures that hold a young reader on the page while the story is read aloud or worked through alone.
It is published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co., a long-established Sri Lankan publishing house issuing books in Sinhala and English, and it belongs on a shelf with the Sinhala picture books that Sri Lankan children have grown up with at home and at school. For buyers abroad, it is a straightforward way to keep Sinhala reading going in a household away from Sri Lanka, or to add an original-language edition to a collection of Wettasinghe's work.
