A Sinhala children's story by Sybil Wettasinghe, one of the titles in her newest series of books for young readers. The text is in Sinhala throughout, with no English translation, so it suits households where a child is reading or being read to in Sinhala.
It is a short book set in large type, pitched at children in the primary grades — the stage at which a reader is beginning to manage a whole story alone but still wants the page to be easy on the eye. Colour illustrations run through it.
Sybil Wettasinghe wrote and illustrated children's books in Sri Lanka over a long working life, and her name is a familiar one on Sinhala children's shelves. Parents abroad often buy her titles to keep a child's Sinhala alive, and this is a straightforward place to start: brief, clearly printed and meant to be finished in a sitting.
