Child, 4, Hits Guinness World Record For Publishing Book

A four-year-old boy from the United Arab Emirates set the record for the youngest person (male) to publish a book, demonstrating that age does not impede success.

The youngest author in the world, Saeed Rashed AlMheiri of Abu Dhabi, holds the Guinness World Record at the age of 4 years and 218 days.

On March 9, 2023, his record was verified after he sold over 1,000 copies of his children’s book The Elephant Saeed and the Bear. It is a story about kindness and the two animals’ unexpected friendship.

However, Saeed is not the only record-breaker in the family; in reality, his book was inspired by his older sister, AlDhabi.

His 8-year-old elder sister, AlDhabi, who holds the record for being the youngest person to publish a bilingual book series, has been his greatest supporter and mentor. She previously held the record for being the youngest person (female) to produce a bilingual book.

AlDhabi, a thinker and innovator, is one of the country’s youngest entrepreneurs, running the local publishing company Rainbow Chimney Educational Aids.

“I adore my sibling and spend a lot of time playing with her. We read, write, draw, and participate in a variety of other tasks together. I wrote my book [inspired by her] because I wanted to have my book as well”, Saeed Rashed AlMheiri told GWR.

Outlining the plot of his work, Saeed further said, “It is about the elephant Saeed and a polar bear. The elephant had a picnic and he saw a polar bear. He thought the bear was going to eat him but, in the end, the elephant showed kindness and said, let’s have a picnic together! Then they became friends and showed kindness to each other”.
