In a statement released by the publisher, Dias said she “so excited” to be writing the book, and that she wanted to spread a “message of diversity, inclusion and social action”.

The pint-sized powerhouse, who loves sushi and dancing, hopes to one day edit her own magazine.

And her book, which will be aimed at children aged 10 and above, will have a theme of activism in the form of a “keep-it-real guide".

Scholastic described it as showing children “how to make their own dreams come true”, with Dias telling how she “turned her passion into a literacy crusade that has captured the attention of the media, policymakers, and young people throughout the world".
