We believe…
– In empowering kids to make smart choices online by developing and using their super Cynja powers
– Awesome storytelling and way cool illustrations should be inspired by real cyber threats and technology
– Kids need a magical place that will help them grow into their digital lives
– Parents and children should learn about cyberspace together
– The world needs more Cynjas
Company Overview:
Founders Heather Dahl and Chase Cunningham, along with illustrator & IT engineer Shirow Di Rosso, published their first book, The Cynja® Volume 1 in 2014. Since then The Cynja has grown into series of comic books published in English, Dutch and Spanish, including an array of entertaining and educational content, and ultimately into the CynjaSpace mobile application — all designed to help families make smart digital choices.
