A Sinhala-language picture book for children by Sybil Wettasinghe, who both wrote and illustrated her stories. The text is entirely in Sinhala, with no English translation, so it suits readers and families who read the language, or those learning it with help at home. The pages are illustrated in colour, pitched at young children.
Wettasinghe is one of the figures most closely associated with Sinhala children's literature, and her drawing style — rounded, warm, instantly recognisable to generations of Sri Lankan readers — is as much the reason people collect her books as the stories themselves. Buyers abroad often look for her titles to pass the language on to children growing up outside Sri Lanka, or simply to keep a familiar book from childhood on the shelf.
