"Chinese characters are unique and systematic. Rachel combines her Chinese teaching experience with her artistic creativity to make an excellent workbook. This workbook will not only help you build a strong foundation in learning Chinese, it will also make writing Chinese characters a fun and therapeutic exercise. Even though the title says it's a workbook for kids, I think it is for anyone who is interested in Chinese." —Daisy Fifer, Chinese teacher, author and life coach
"Rachel Avrick has created an invaluable resource! As a mother and educator, I feel confident that even as a non-Chinese speaker, I can use this book to help my children continue to develop their Chinese language skills in a low-stress, low-prep, and highly effective and engaging way." —Emily M. Rojas, teacher and parent
"Filled with colorful designs and helpful tips, this is the perfect book for learning how to write Mandarin Chinese characters. Whether you are a Mandarin teacher or someone who wants to explore Chinese culture and language, this book is a great introduction to the most useful and interesting characters." —Candace McGuffey, Mandarin language teacher
"Rachel Avrick's new book, Chinese Character Practice Workbook for Kids, is a much-needed character practice book for Chinese language learners. The practice book follows a Chinese tradition to let learners first trace the characters based on the model given before writing full characters themselves, and also provides stroke by stroke order in a visually appealing and easy way for the students to follow. This method is usually missing in language textbooks in the US and consequently results in difficulty for students to master character writing. Overall, this will be a very useful first book for both child and adult learners of Chinese writing. It is fun and user friendly and adds to the tools available in Chinese character learning." —Jingqi Fu, professor of Chinese, St. Mary's College of Maryland
