Saeed said, “I am very close to my sister; we both read, write, and do other activities together; I have written my book inspired by my sister.”

Rashid Al-Mehiristated, “The story of my book is about an elephant and a bear. The elephant goes on a picnic and sees a bear. The elephant thinks that the bear will eat him, but in the end, the elephant shows kindness and offers to have a picnic together, and they become friends.”

4-year-old Rashid learned to write under the guidance of his mother and sister, while he also has a passion for mathematics and likes to solve math problems with his mother.

He revealed that this is just the beginning of his writing journey, and he is already working on another book. He loves to read, write, and tell stories.

Saeed’s parents said they are proud of their son, saying Saeed has followed in his sister’s footsteps and that his success is proof that every child is born with some talent.
