Phyllis Bordo

Phyllis Bordo is a retired English high school teacher who enjoys reading to her six grandchildren and volunteering at their school library. After noticing how much children worry today, Phyllis created Lilly Esther to show them how to overcome their fears and anxieties. She hopes that Lilly Esther will help children find ways to cope with their worries, no matter what they are. Phyllis's books open discussion among children and their teachers, parents and peers on these sensitive issues. Lilly Esther's stories deal with these topics in a humorous and loving way.

Lilly Esther Conquers the Worries and Quincey Loves Lilly Esther Forever are the first two books in the Lilly Esther series. A third is set to be released in 2021.

Phyllis lives in Toronto, Ontario with her husband and her dog, named after the heroine of her stories, Lilly Esther!
