Her latest collection of children’s books -‘Gigiri’, ‘Samanalunta Paata Paata’, ‘Sarungal Dagaya’ and ‘Aruma Puduma Ring Ring’ -offers inspiring and value-based stories for young readers.
Another noteworthy publication by Malkanthi, who also serves as the Editor of ‘Mahum Thaksalawa’ magazine, is the recently launched book ‘Duwa, Dän Big Girl Kenek’ (Daughter, You’re now a ‘Big Girl’). The book was produced under the guidance of Dr. Chaminda Maathota, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist and published by Samanala Dänuma Publications. It was featured at the Colombo International Book Fair and is now available at bookstores island-wide. It is an essential read for parents and daughters.
This book is far more than words printed on paper. It contains a wealth of valuable information not only for mothers and daughters, but also for fathers who wish to better understand their growing daughters.
Dr. Maathota provides clear and essential guidance on how parents should support their daughters as they reach puberty and adjust to social life thereafter, a topic often misunderstood or overlooked in many Asian families today.
Many parents, the book notes, fail to recognise or properly guide their daughters during this important transition. Through this publication, Dr. Maathota aims to offer accurate, practical and compassionate advice, presented in a clear and accessible style by Manjula Malkanthi.
As the editor notes, this is not just another book, it is a treasure trove of essential knowledge that helps parents and children alike navigate life with greater understanding and confidence.
