Four-year-old boy is named the world’s youngest author by Guinness Book of Records

Saeed AlMheiri, a four-year-old kid from Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, has published a book about kindness and is now listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the youngest author ever.

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.
