From The Root -
9-Year-Old Brooklyn Girl Youngest to Ever Publish Chapter Book
The Day Mohan Found His Confidence was inspired by Anaya Lee Willabus’ trip to Guyana two years ago.
Anaya Lee Willabus, a 9-year-old girl from Brooklyn, N.Y., became the youngest person to publish a chapter book in U.S. history.
Anaya, who penned The Day Mohan Found His Confidence, described on Amazon as realistic fiction, is “about a boy’s struggle to balance life at home and school, and how he realizes he can do anything with the help of his family and friends,” Ayana said in an interview with WPIX.
“I like to read all genres, of books,” Anaya told the New York Daily News. “I love both reading and writing. They both have something that I love in them.”
