The Incredible Story behind this
Children's Book
FLOATING
ZOO
During the pandemic in 2020, Shiloh wrote a paragraph on the story of Noah's Ark, empathizing with poor Noah's predicament of being stuck inside with all those naughty animals. The very next day, she woke up inspired and wrote three-quarters of the entire story. And for fun, she created an audio version to go with it.
Two weeks later, in the middle of trying to delete the story and audio from her phone, someone she knew unexpectedly called. They ended up having a conversation about reading to kids, and Shiloh casually mentioned the story she had written, joking about their interruption and if God had sent them to stop her from deleting it. They immediately interrupted her mid sentence, insisting that she send what she had written. Shiloh initially brushed it off, but they persisted. She finally relented and sent them the audio, and they played the audio while their family was in the same room.
Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing to listen intently, expressing their curiosity about the storyteller's identity. Impressed by the response, they called Shiloh back , and inquired about when Shiloh could complete the story and the potential cost of turning it into a book. They even expressed their willingness to invest in the project.
And now, three years later . . . here we are . . . riding on

TORI
Hi there!
My name is Tori Kate, and I am an illustrator, graphic designer, book lover and chocolate fanatic. I currently am a working freelance artist, and love to create colorful illustrations that tell fascinating stories and have characters pop right off the page. My days are usually quite full balancing my time between chasing my 2 young kids, and sketching out wonderful ideas ready to come to life.
I received my diploma of Commercial Animation from Capilano University, and studied part-time at Emily Carr University, studying Picture Book Illustration. Recently, I have graduated from BCIT with an Associate's Certificate in Graphic Design. I currently live with my husband and two kids in Vancouver, BC.
I love to draw, sketch, paint and create heart warming digital illustrations and art pieces. I love to create a sense of whimsical-ness into my artwork, adding just a touch of myself into each piece I create.
Tori has loved drawing and creating colorful characters since she was a young kid. She always
dreamed of becoming an artist and creating children’s storybooks! Besides drawing, Tori loves reading, baking sweet treats, and spending time
outdoors with her husband and two kids in Vancouver, Canada.
Shiloh is a hive of creativity who loves children, cake and Capri, Italy. She is a Pastor and has ministered to and taught more than 4000 children. She is also an artist, musician and is always up for a good laugh. Shiloh is originally from a little country, called Zimbabwe, in Southern Africa, where there are plenty of adventures and wild animals. This is her first children’s book, but certainly not the last!

What in the world was Noah going to do.
And where was he going to hide this Floating ZOO?
Noah is in for a 500th Birthday surprise, all was going well in his world until God came and asked Noah to build something called an Ark. What on earth was an Ark? And what in the world was a flood and rain?!? Noah had no idea what he was in for and what he was building . . . all he knew was to trust God. Noah had to take 2 of every kind of animal on the Ark, never mind about his nosey neighbors who wanted to know what he was building and why.
We all feel like Noah at some point in our lives, when God shares what is on His heart with us. It's always much bigger than what we can ever imagine, but always totally worth the adventure!
