A book titled 'Art Room Tales' was launched by the Hardy Centre of Art on April 2, 2010, at Anilana Hotels, Colombo 2. The 126 page book is totally authored and illustrated by the children, explains Art Teacher Rhuani Rambukwelle, and is
intended to build the self-esteem of the child.

Elephants, caterpillars and pink and green dinosaurs leap off the pages while each illustration is accompanied by a story crafted by the children
themselves.
Seven year old Avinash's story for instance is about a plane which transports
passengers to America while
11 year old Hirushi's is about an animal she made up, coming to the modern world to save the world from ending.
"It looks like a giraffe but it has a long tail, and he saves the world with a little boy named Jerry from China," she smiles. Shalini, (11) also a student at the school, has an imaginative story accompanied by a multi-hued
illustration published in the book.
The stories are wonderfully diverse and are an excellent display of the unlimited creativity that each child is capable of. The book which is authored by children for children is now available for sale. For more information about the book or to make a purchase, please contact Rhuani on 0777 – 711231.
