In this book, they are the names of two adorable little sprites. Thus, the former is named "Cherch" (找) and the latter "Trouv" (尋) in Chinese. The two sprites venture into the labyrinths of 18 visual art worlds, requiring readers' complete focus to help "Cherch" find "Trouv"! In this era of 3C technology and short videos, not only children but also adults experience significantly reduced attention spans. For children who are still learning and growing, the inability to concentrate can have even more severe repercussions. Poor academic performance or daily life disorganization can lead not only to diminished grades and achievements but also to a decline in a child's self-confidence and motivation to learn. It can also strain peer, teacher-student, and parent-child relationships, creating a cycle that may even lead to psychological issues such as anxiety and depression, causing immense distress for parents of this generation and driving an annual increase in medical consultations. In addition to medication and psychological therapy, numerous behavioral training courses, games, and books have emerged, seeking to enhance attention through various methods. This book is one such resource designed to aid in attention training. Inheriting the style of French art, this book features vibrant colors and engaging illustrations. Each maze is a distinct visual art world, resembling beautiful paintings that are captivating. It not only trains concentration but also enhances visual-motor skills and color recognition. Co-reading with parents is also highly recommended. Tackling one or two mazes at a time can foster a sense of accomplishment through play, alleviating the tension of directive teaching and the fatigue of constant reminders. It allows both adults and children to find joy and intimacy together as they seek and find! Everyone, get ready to embark on the journey—Let's Cherch and Trouv!
