A Sinhala-language book for young readers, written by Sriya Ratnakara and published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. The whole text is in Sinhala, so a reader will need the language to use it.
The subject is the lives of five scientists of world renown. The book gathers a good deal of information about each of them, told as life stories rather than as explanations of their science: the dedication they brought to their work, and the hardship and sorrow they faced without flinching while opening a path forward for the world.
It is written with children in mind, the publisher's intention being that reading these lives stirs creative thinking in a young reader and strengthens perseverance and resolve. That makes it a book for a school-age audience at home or in a Sinhala-medium classroom, and for families abroad who are keeping their children's Sinhala reading going.
