In the Snow by Huy Voun Lee

A simple introduction to Chinese character writing.

It's a wonderful day for a walk in the snow. Using snow as her canvas, Xiao Ming's mother teaches her son ten new Chinese characters.

Huy Voun Lee's focus on the similarity between writing Chinese characters and drawing pictures makes learning Chinese seem accessible. Simple mnemonic explanations help children learn and remember the character for each word. In the Snow is a great introduction to one of the world's oldest picture languages.

In the Snow by Huy Voun Lee, English, Softcover

As Xiao Ming and his mother walk through the winter forest, the fresh snow-white and smooth as paper-inspires an educational game. His mother writes Chinese characters with a fallen branch as a stick, Xiao Ming recites what the characters represent. With fun and ease, the mother incorporates characters and words so that they make sense to a child.
For example, "forest'' is comprised of two characters for "tree.'' And the symbol for "snow'' combines "hand'' beneath "rain''-signifying a form of rain that can be held.
Focusing on 10 words, Lee (At the Beach) introduces an often daunting language as a tantalizing system built on images and common-sense connections. Thoughtfully composed cut-paper collages convey the same clarity as the text. An author's note explains that, while over 800 Chinese dialects exist, the written language is uniform.

Ideal for ages 4-8
English.  Softcover
