4 year old Birmingham boy, writes his first series of books

 

When Jayce Joyce was three-years-old, he could write about what he had seen and done.

His mum said she realised he was smart when, at just 15 months, he would attempt to understand and draw the pictures in storybooks she read to him.

His nursery teacher said he had a 'prolific memory' and 'was gifted in reading, writing and spelling'.

Now aged four, he's written two books which are set to be published on World Book Day in March.

The illustrated books, called 'A Beach With No Sea' and 'Jayce's Sweet Tooth', are about his own experiences from days out and trips to the park, museum and zoo.

He might even be able to get into the Guinness Book of Records as the youngest person to publish a book and a series at the same time if he sells 1,000 copies of each.

After an assessment, his mom said she was told he had the reading age of a six-year-old and the writing age of a seven-year-old.

His mom added: "He doesn't understand the magnitude of it all because of his age but I think it's a strong message to other children, inspiring them to write and showing them that, if he can do it aged four, then they can too.To say I am proud is an understatement"
