A children's book by Sybil Wettasinghe, published in English by M. D. Gunasena & Co. of Colombo. It belongs to a series of large letter books that Wettasinghe made for young children — titles set in big type, intended for readers at the stage of working out words on their own or following along while someone else reads aloud.
Wettasinghe is a veteran Sri Lankan children's book author and illustrator, writing and drawing for the same audience across many years, and the books in this series carry both her words and her pictures.
For parents, grandparents and teachers outside Sri Lanka who want Sinhala-rooted children's storytelling in English, this is a straightforward way to put one of the country's own children's books into a child's hands rather than an imported substitute. It suits a young child's shelf, a primary classroom reading corner, or a gift to a family keeping a connection to Sri Lanka alive at home.
