Ranmali Kirinde liked Gayanga Dissanayaka's review of Keyaan Goes to Kumana: "An exciting children's book that introduces children to the wonders of wildlife, with real-life photographs and simple/easy reading to go along with it. A fun method of exposing your children to the nature early on!"

Ranmali’s Quotes

“Domesticated chickens and cattle may well be an evolutionary success story, but they are also among the most miserable creatures that ever lived. The domestication of animals was founded on a series of brutal practices that only became crueller with the passing of the centuries.”
― Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

“Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens.”
― Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind
