A children's story by Sybil Wettasinghe, the Sri Lankan writer and illustrator whose picture books have been read by generations of children on the island. The title names a hungry cat, and the Sinhala title, Badagini Poosi, is carried alongside the Tamil one.
This edition is printed entirely in Tamil. The story was first published in Sinhala; what is offered here is the Tamil translation, issued by M. D. Gunasena & Co. of Colombo, a publishing house long associated with school and children's books in Sri Lanka's three languages. Buyers outside Sri Lanka should order it expecting Tamil script throughout, with no English text.
Wettasinghe wrote and drew for young readers across a long career, and her books are a staple of Sinhala and Tamil children's reading in Sri Lanka. For Tamil-reading families abroad, editions like this one are a direct way to put a familiar Sri Lankan story into a child's hands in their own language — useful for parents keeping a home language alive, for teachers building a Tamil reading shelf, and for anyone collecting Sri Lankan children's literature in translation.
