Simba and Bear's Woodland Misadventure Shirin Pillay

How many of us are lucky enough to have a best friend with whom we can get carried away having fun?

Simba and Bear are two such best friends. Come along with them on an adventure, where their curiosity takes them a little too far one day.

When Simba and Bear get carried away chasing their adventures in the park, they find themselves lost in the woods. It doesn't take them long to realize that wandering off without their Moms can quickly become very scary.

Simba and Bear's Woodland Misadventure is not just about being lost and scared. It is also about being found and feeling secure. It is about feeling loved and knowing that, when in the comforting embrace of those who love us, we are safe.

Shirin grew up in Dubai and now resides in the beautiful Niagara Region in Canada with her perfect dog, Simba. The idea of writing a book about Simba and her nieces' dog, Bear first came to her when she was watching how blissfully they were playing together. With each passing playdate, the idea grew until it became a dream. Shirin is excited to see her vision become a reality with the first book in 'The Adventures of Simba and Bear' series.

In her free time, Shirin enjoys traveling, reading, entertaining, being outdoors with her dog and spending time with her family. She is especially close to her nieces and nephews and counts them amongst her greatest blessings.
