UAE youngest author enters Guinness World Records world youngest child
The novel “The Elephant Saeed and the Bear” was written by four years old and 218 days old Saeed Rashed AlMheiri World’s Youngest Author. About a thousand copies of the touching tale of two animals’ generosity and friendship have already been sold. On March 9, 2023, Guinness World Records confirmed that the record was legitimate.
His family had a history of record-setting, so he wasn’t the first. AlDhabi, his older sister, served as an inspiration to Saeed as she had already broken the record for the youngest female author of a bilingual book. The youngest multilingual book series (female) was published by AlDhabi in less than a year at the age of just eight years and 239 days, breaking yet another record.
Happy International Children's Book Day!

When asked about the source of his inspiration for his novel, Saeed said that it was his sister “I adore my sister and take great pleasure in engaging in activities like reading, writing, and art with her. Since I believed I could also write a book, I did.”
It is clear that Saeed has a promising future in the world of literature because his novel imparts a useful lesson about goodwill and unexpected friendship.
Saeed’s mother Mouza claimed that he used straightforward language when writing the book. As per standard procedure, the Guinness World Records adjudicators carefully scrutinised his work to make sure that he wrote it himself. His record’s title was officially announced earlier this month.
AlDhabi, Saeed’s older sister and mentor, is 8 years old. Two world records are held by AlDhabi. The youngest female author of a bilingual book and the youngest author of a bilingual book series (female). She is one of the nation’s youngest entrepreneurs, a creative thinker, and an inventor.
