If your child has ever transformed a couch into a castle or a stick into a sword, then you already know: kids don’t just read stories—they live them. That’s the power of fantasy. And no one brings that magic to life quite like Cyrill the Majestic Dragon.


In today’s world of screens and schedules, it’s easy to overlook the simple joy of an open book. But fantasy books like the Cyrill series are more than bedtime staples—they're emotional lifelines and imagination igniters.


Why Fantasy Books Matter;

According to Dr. Lillian Katz, a pioneer in early childhood education, "The activity of imagining may well be the key to knowing and remembering by helping children bring to mind what they know and what they have once seen and thought."


Fantasy books help children: - Think creatively and solve problems from new angles - Explore emotional experiences safely - Build empathy through characters with different perspectives - Strengthen language and storytelling skills

A 2023 study by the National Literacy Trust even found that children who read fantasy fiction at least once a week scored significantly higher on creativity assessments and empathy scales than peers who did not.


A Magical Impact: Real Words from Real Readers

One teacher wrote to us: “My students are obsessed with Cyrill. They talk about him like he’s their classmate. One child said, ‘If I get nervous, I just imagine Cyrill beside me.’ That’s emotional growth, right there."

And from a parent: “Cyrill helped my daughter find her voice. She started making up stories, drawing dragons, and even wrote her own ending to one of the books!"

These stories remind us: fantasy isn’t a distraction from the real world. It’s a tool to help children understand the real world, with a little more hope and a lot more imagination.
