A picture book for young readers from Sybil Wettasinghe, one of a recent series of children's stories she has written for M. D. Gunasena. This is the English edition.
The book is set in large letters and runs to a small number of pages, which makes it suited to primary school children reading on their own or working through a story with an adult beside them. Colour paintings run through it, pitched at the age group the text is written for.
Wettasinghe is a Sri Lankan writer and illustrator of children's books, and her work is familiar to generations of readers on the island. For families abroad, these English editions are a straightforward way to put a Sri Lankan children's book into a child's hands — the same stories and the same drawing style, in a language the child is already reading in.
Suitable as a gift, as a first independent read, or as part of a shelf of Sinhala and English children's titles being built up at home.
