It has been announced that a four-year-old Emirati boy has set a Guinness World Record for being the youngest male to publish a book.

"The Elephant Saeed and the Bear" tells the story of kindness triumphing over anger and the unexpected friendship between two animals in Saeed Rashed AlMheiri's book.

In fact, Saeed was inspired to write his book by his sister AlDhabi, who is another record-breaker at the family. According to international media reports, AlDhabi, his older sister who holds the record for being the youngest to publish a bilingual book series, has been his greatest supporter and mentor.

In his book, he tells the story of an elephant named Saeed who runs into a polar bear during an outing. In spite of being concerned the bear might harm him at first, the elephant proposes that they have a picnic together.

The storyline then continues as the kindness and bond between the animals is emphasized. The story itself talks about core values such as kindness, acceptance and inclusivity.
