After a TED talk in 2013 ("Learn to read Chinese … with ease! ")[8] and crowdfunding though Kickstarter,[9] Hsueh published the book Chineasy: The New Way to Read Chinese in March 2014, in collaboration with the graphic artist Noma Bar.[10] Hsueh came up with the idea while trying to teach Chinese to her two children.[4]
