12. Most 5-year-olds are just learning to read and write but one little girl from the
UK has actually written a book that was published in January, 2022.

To earn the Guinness Worl d Records’ title of The World’s Youngest Published Author, Female, the book has to be published by a commercial publishing house and have at least 1,000 copies printed and sold. Bella’s book met the criteria (标准).
Besides being an accomplished author, Bella is just a regular kid who enjoys reading swimming and playing on her tablet. In her free time, she is currently working on a sequel(续集) to Snowy’s story.
