A children's book in Tamil. The text is set entirely in Tamil script, so a reader or a child being read to will need Tamil; there is no English edition of the story here.
The work is by Sybil Wettasinghe, the Sri Lankan artist and children's story writer, whose name appears on the cover in Tamil as சிபில் வெத்தசிங்க. She wrote and illustrated the original, which was published in Sinhala under the title Bottu Ibba. What is offered here is the Tamil translation of that book, carrying the Sinhala title alongside the Tamil one so that readers familiar with the original can recognise it.
It is published by M. D. Gunasena & Co., a Colombo publishing house that issues books in Sinhala, Tamil and English, including a long line of children's titles.
Likely buyers are Tamil-speaking families in Sri Lanka and abroad looking for picture books in the language, parents and teachers building a bilingual or Tamil-medium shelf for young children, and collectors of Sybil Wettasinghe's work who want her stories in their various language editions rather than only in Sinhala or English.
