Cynthia Bordelon is a native of Chicago, Illinois. An introvert as a child, Cynthia lacked self-confidence but took many adventures through the magical portals of books.  As an adult, her worldwide travels filled her with a sense of awe and wonder. Cynthia’s passion is to encourage and instill confidence in children and young adults. Cynthia is a firm believer that being in nature promotes social connection and creativity in children.  She hopes that her books inspire children, the future stewards of our precious natural world, to become ecologically literate citizens.
