A Sinhala-language children's book by Shyamila Indeewaree Thilakaratne, published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. The text is entirely in Sinhala, which international buyers should note before ordering: there is no English translation within these covers.
The author's stated aim is to offer something of village life to children growing up without it — the rural landscape, local customs and practices, folklore, and the habit of living alongside neighbours. Alongside these sits an interest in good conduct, particularly the respect owed to elders.
It will suit Sinhala-reading families abroad looking for material that carries village settings and traditional manners to children raised elsewhere, and readers who want contemporary Sinhala writing for young people from an established Colombo publisher.
