A Sinhala picture book for young children by Sybil Wettasinghe, the Sri Lankan artist and children's writer, published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. It belongs to a series she prepared for small children, set in large letters.
The text is entirely in Sinhala, with no English translation, so it will suit households where Sinhala is read aloud or where a child is learning to recognise the script. Families abroad raising children in the language often buy Wettasinghe's books for exactly this reason: the words are hers, and so are the pictures.
Wettasinghe wrote and illustrated for children across a long career in Sri Lanka, and her drawings are familiar to generations who grew up with them. Readers who know her other titles will recognise the hand immediately. Those meeting her work for the first time will find a book made deliberately for the youngest reader, with the clear, generous lettering that marks the series it comes from.
