What a wonderful way to introduce Chinese, a pictograph language, to children and adults alike, through beautiful illustration and engaging stories! The author, a father who has studied ancient oracle bone scripts for over ten years, creates the book for his 3-year-old daughter to learn Chinese characters in a fun and meaningful way.  This book offers a visual way to learn Chinese characters and their evolutions to the modern day forms through pictograms. It features high frequency words which originated from ancient oracle bone scripts.

《汉字是画出来的》，是孩子启蒙的首本汉字书。汉字小的时候，是像画儿一样的甲骨文。它有着拙拙萌萌的线条，形象而生动，让人一眼就能看懂。甲骨文，正好符合孩子的形象认知思维。识字阶段的孩子单纯而美好，他们看待世界的方式和先民造字时期很接近，能比大人更容易感受到，甲骨文那原始而粗犷的自然美。从甲骨文入手，让孩子走进汉字的世界，是一种正确且乐趣满满的识字方法。有了以上的观察，再经过多年实地教学，一位有着十年甲骨文研究经验的爸爸，决心让三岁的女儿用正确的方法来识字。于是他联合儿童心理学家戴震东、无印良品设计师厉致谦、儿童插画师阿咸。于是有了《汉字是画出来的》这本书。
