A Sinhala-language children's book written and illustrated by Sybil Wettasinghe, published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. The text is entirely in Sinhala, with no English translation, so a reader will need Sinhala to follow the story — though the pictures carry a good deal on their own.
Wettasinghe was both a writer for children and an artist, and her books are drawn as well as written by her. The illustrations here are made with children in mind: the publisher describes them as designed to hold a child's attention and to suit the way young readers take in a picture.
This will interest Sinhala-speaking families abroad who want their children reading in the language, teachers working with Sinhala readers, and collectors of Wettasinghe's work. For buyers outside Sri Lanka, it is worth saying again plainly: this is a Sinhala edition throughout, title and text alike.
