Meet four-year-old who has read over 1,000 books

While many adults can barely boast of reading at least one book the whole of 2016, this four year old has read over 1,000 in just a year.

Daliyah Marie Arana was perhaps destined to be a prolific reader as even before her birth, her mother was already reading to her and her older siblings.
