A children's story by Sybil Wettasinghe, the Sri Lankan artist and writer of children's books, issued here in Tamil. The text is in Tamil throughout — buyers who do not read the language should know that before ordering.
The story first appeared in Sinhala under the title Kiri Sookiri. This is the Tamil translation of that original, published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co., a house that has long produced books in Sinhala, Tamil and English for Sri Lankan readers.
Wettasinghe wrote and illustrated for children over a long career, and her picture books remain part of ordinary childhood reading in Sri Lanka. For Tamil-speaking families abroad, a translated edition of her work is one of the more direct ways of putting a Sri Lankan story into a child's hands in their own language. It will also interest collectors of Sri Lankan children's literature who want her titles across the island's languages rather than in Sinhala alone.
