If your little reader liked our comic strip by Charing Wong in Issue 01, this 巧虎 episode 暖呼呼的溫泉旅行 is a great follow-up. It's in Mandarin and follows the family on their vacation.

大家有泡過溫泉嗎？這次我要和爸爸、媽媽，還有小花一起去泡溫泉。在大大的浴池裡泡澡，應該很舒服吧！室外的浴池呵～不知道最近說很累的爸爸，能不能也恢復精神。下一集，暖呼呼的溫泉旅行，一定要看呵！●巧連智官...

It's been 6 months since we first launched Issue 01 (and also the 6 months we took maternity leave) so now we're back to work on Issue 02.

We'll be announcing the next destination soon. In the meantime, let us know what your readers liked most in Issue 01 so we can get to brainstorming our new magazine.

Our magazine is full of activities to keep your little reader busy, while they learn more about our theme. Issue 01 has a coloring map, maze, word search, look and find, and more. 🧩

We have more suggestions for activity books in our Facebook group too!

Getting feedback like this in our inbox makes our day! Stephanie has a son in a Mandarin/English dual immersion school that teaches traditional Chinese characters. Their family loved Issue 01 and wanted to find out more about educational discounts for their teachers. Of course we were happy to offer that!

If you’d like to see our magazine in your children’s classrooms, let us know. We have discounts for teachers and libraries, and we would love to get more copies out there 📚

While our magazine was created with overseas families in the Chinese diaspora in mind, it’s always delightful to hear from native Chinese learners as well. Taiwan-based, Awan, shared her favorite parts of the magazine with us. We love exploring each country as a theme as well and are so glad to hear our readers are most excited about this!

Since this is our first issue, we are learning what our readers are most drawn to. 5yo 孫浩峰 picked up the magazine and started to fill in the things he would bring on his shinkansen journey. His mom writes: “The short comic and story were great and we co-read them both! Great magazine for a 5 year old.”

As we put together Issue 02, we love feedback like this so we can continue to fill it with your readers’ favorite things, and they can enjoy more Chinese reading and activities 😊

Our magazine was designed for readers who have a basic foundation in Chinese characters, perhaps after completing leveled readers like Sage 500 and Greenfield 我自己會讀 series. Mom of two, Grace, shares her experience reading our magazine with her children.

6yo 孫梓珊 was instantly drawn to the pop-out postcard at the back. Each issue will come with one!

Have you filled out your postcard for anyone yet?

The back cover of each issue comes with a post card that readers can share with a friend. Gently fold along the perforated line and pop that post card out!

This one of Mount Fuji is a souvenir after reading the magazine about Japan 🇯🇵 We love this feature. How about you?

恩恩 decided to pick up the magazine that I wrote for her and with her (unprompted!) The first issue arrived in the mail yesterday and she was so eager to fill it out as it’s finally in paper form. We also talked about visiting Japan which is the theme of the first issue. We traveled to Japan with her when she was 8mo which she didn’t remember so I told her about that too.

There’s so much I want to improve and add to this magazine but my heart is already so full seeing a reader like her enjoy my first attempt at a Chinese children’s magazine.

Each issue of the magazine is focused on a country. In Issue 01, we take our readers to Japan. Our feature story is beautifully illustrated by Tokyo-based who added her signature floral details to our magazine.

What do you think of this theme?

8yo 河昕 likes the center spread in Issue 01 the most: it’s a coloring map of Nara in Japan 🗺️
