Guinness names four-year-old boy world’s youngest author

A four-year-old boy, Saeed AlMheiri, from Abu Dhabi, UAE, has written a book about kindness and is now the world’s youngest person to publish a book in the Guinness Books of Records.

His record was verified on March 9, 2023, after he sold over 1,000 copies of his children’s book titled ‘The Elephant Saeed and the Bear’, according to the site on Thursday.

But Saeed is not the only record breaker in the family. He was inspired to write his book by his older sister, AlDhabi.

AlDhabi used to hold the record title for the world’s youngest person to publish a bilingual book (female) and, less than one year later, she broke the record for the youngest person to publish a bilingual book series (female) at the age of 8 years and 239 days old.
