Chinese Characters
Chinese words don't march across flat surfaces the way ours do; they drop down cliffs, one cliff after another from right to left across a page.- Jean Fritz, from her book, Homesick.

While reading the book, Homesick by Jean Fritz, we decided to practice writing in Chinese.  Here are a just a few words we had learned to write.  Enjoy.
