FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Liverpool, UK – 26 August 2026 – Ten-year-old British literary prodigy Destiny Likambi, recognised as the world’s youngest author to publish multiple books, has today added another remarkable milestone to her extraordinary literary journey with the publication of three brand-new children’s books, bringing her growing portfolio to 12 published books.
The three new releases—Leo’s Adventure, Chicky and the Forest Part 2 and Destiny’s Day Out—are officially available for purchase from today, 26 August 2026, on Amazon and through Likambi Global Publishing House.
Destiny made her debut as a published author at the tender age of five and, by the age of eight, had already published nine books. Today, at just 10 years old, she adds three more titles to an inspiring body of work that continues to demonstrate the extraordinary possibilities that can unfold when children are encouraged to believe in themselves, develop their talents and give expression to their imagination.
“You should always believe in yourself and never give up on your dreams.” — Destiny Likambi
Her newest books continue the much-loved Destiny Books Series, bringing young readers imaginative adventures filled with mystery, humour, valuable life lessons, unexpected encounters and plenty of surprises.
About the Books:
LEO’S ADVENTURE
In Leo’s Adventure, readers meet Leo, a curious and adventurous seven-year-old who believes he is brave enough to explore the mysterious Haunted Woods all by himself. But when Leo sneaks away without telling anyone, his exciting journey soon becomes much stranger than he imagined. Unexpected encounters and mysterious places await him as he ventures deeper into the woods. What will Leo discover, and will he make it safely back to his nan’s house?

In Chicky and the Forest Part 2, Chicky and Destiny return for another fun-filled and mysterious adventure. What begins as a simple shopping challenge quickly takes an unexpected turn when the pair find themselves somewhere strange and unfamiliar. With danger closing in and seemingly no way out, Chicky’s mischievous behaviour might just become their greatest hope. Will they make it safely home, and who will eventually win the shopping challenge?

Destiny’s Day Out takes readers on another unexpected journey when Destiny, ready to relax after a tiring day, answers the door to a mysterious old man with a strange request and a promise of money. Before long, she finds herself deep within the woods, surrounded by strange animals, mysterious noises and surprising encounters. Who is the mysterious old man, what awaits Destiny in the forest, and will she ever find her way back home?

All three books are also available through Likambi Global Publishing House.
While Destiny’s accomplishments as a young author are remarkable, the heart of her journey reaches far beyond the number of books she has published. Her mission is to inspire other children to recognise that they are gifted, creative and capable of achieving extraordinary things regardless of their age or background.
Her books reflect her passion for storytelling, diversity in children’s literature and empowering young people—particularly children from underrepresented backgrounds—to see themselves as confident creators whose ideas and voices matter.
Alongside her siblings, who are also accomplished young authors, Destiny regularly engages with children through schools, libraries and events, encouraging them to read, write, explore their imagination and discover their own creative genius.
Earlier this year, Destiny and her siblings inspired hundreds of students during a school visit as part of the National Year of Reading, sharing messages of creativity, confidence, resilience and self-belief. Destiny has become especially passionate about showing children that becoming an author does not have to be something reserved for adulthood.

“I love speaking in schools and at events and inspiring young children to write and publish their own books. If I can do it, then they too can do it.” — Destiny Likambi
Her journey has attracted national and international media attention, including appearances and features on ITV National News, ITV Granada, BBC Radio Merseyside and CRTV, among others.
Destiny and her siblings also advocate for greater accessibility to diverse children’s literature through book donations to schools, libraries and young people. Their wider mission is to nurture a generation of confident readers, imaginative thinkers and young storytellers who are empowered to believe that their ideas can become something meaningful.
Destiny’s previous releases have also been accompanied by a collection of positive affirmation cards for children, designed to build self-belief, confidence, resilience and a positive sense of identity.
“I want every child to believe in themselves and know they can achieve anything they dream of. My books and affirmation cards are meant to remind children that they are special, unique, and capable of great things.” — Destiny Likambi
The publication of Leo’s Adventure, Chicky and the Forest Part 2 and Destiny’s Day Out today marks another significant chapter in the young author’s remarkable journey.
From writing her first stories at just five years old to becoming the author of 12 published books at the age of 10, Destiny continues to embody the message she shares with children everywhere: creativity has no age limit, and no child is too young to dream, create and make an impact.
Her ambition remains to inspire children across the globe to discover the joy of reading, unlock their imagination and, perhaps most importantly, believe that they too can write and publish their own stories.
The three new books are available to purchase now on Amazon and through Likambi Global Publishing House.
