THE GREAT MAGICIAN BY EGOR KLOPENKO

 

The Great Magician by Egor Klopenko and illustrated by  Asantao (Anastasiya Pachina) is an extraordinary work that brings real magic into the lives of children, helping them understand how nature is formed, how to enjoy it, and why it is the best supporter of human survival on Earth.

This is my second read from Egor, following his book on kindness, and I’m very happy to review it. The author introduces the magician in a way that immediately draws readers in, revealing his purpose and the work he does, focusing primarily on children, though later extending his magic to adults as well.

Throughout the book, in ten chapters, Egor provides creative and convincing explanations to help children overcome their fear of darkness. The magician, with his powers, brings in moons, stars, flowers, fireflies, and many other wonders, turning dark nights into moments of beauty and comfort.

Gradually, the book moves toward its core: the real magic. Without holding back, the magician explains to children what magic truly is and how they can create it in their lives.

“How wonderful it would be if children could learn

 to turn darkness into light,

To shape their own lives into one of happiness,

and turn their tears into joy!”

 

This section is particularly powerful—reasonable, practical, and inspiring—encouraging children to make their world beautiful and harmonious with nature.

“The more magic the children had, the brighter and kinder the world would be.”

This isn’t just a children’s book; it carries an important message for adults as well. During times of global unrest, this book feels like what’s needed right now. Egor deserves full credit for creating a child-friendly and inspiring work that gives the next generation hope, creativity, and the vision to live in harmony with nature.

I wholeheartedly recommend picking up a copy—let your children explore the magician’s wisdom, and maybe you’ll find a touch of magic for yourself too.
