Emily V. Bastien was one of the youngest published authors in US history when she released her first book - Aqua Tales - at seven years old. Her passion and persistence made her first book a reality. Writing a book at any age is a significant accomplishment, but in an era where one in four American children grows up without learning how to read, Emily, is one of a kind. Emily is a published author, international speaker, and avid reader who loves to create her own stories. At nine years old, Emily released her second book, The Fearless Fantabulous Five, in November 2018. She proves that age is never an obstacle when kids are determined to achieve their goals. Emily shares her love for reading and writing throughout the United States, Europe and Caribbean Islands.
