Lea Celik Sommerseth Shaw Launches "The Scout" Series in Chinese: Dedicated to Her Son William The Scout

Shanghai, China — Visionary entrepreneur, creative director, and author Lea Celik Sommerseth Shaw announces the Chinese-language release of "The Scout" series, a heartfelt and imaginative literary work dedicated to her son, William The Scout, a Westminster pupil whose Pet along club has inspired Lea’s multilingual publishing project.

The series will be published and distributed in Shanghai, offering Chinese readers a glimpse into a powerful autobiographical narrative intertwined with global culture, education, and childhood imagination. Reflecting Lea’s respect for Chinese culture and language, the project is a bridge between storytelling, youth empowerment, and international solidarity.

“All profits from the Chinese publication of The Scout series will be donated directly to mothers with children in China,” said Lea. “This is not just a literary project — it’s a humanitarian and creative mission rooted in aspects of peaceful and tomorrow making for future-generations.”

The publication is part of Lea’s broader artistic and diplomatic vision through her platform Galeria Isık, a creative social enterprise that provides job opportunities for Chinese youth and supports bilateral cooperation with her long-term governance and innovation initiative, Southwest Babylon — an emerging micronational project built on principles of human rights, sustainability, and cultural partnership.

Lea has long worked across disciplines, with a strong foundation in Chinese language and literature, philanthropy, and international diplomacy. Her projects are deeply personal, blending the arts with activism, and reflecting a unique vision for a connected global future where every child’s voice matters.

Lea’s works are always published under her name, fully self-funded, and independently produced. She represents her projects personally in diplomatic and cultural forums and is now seeking collaboration with Chinese publishers, and social innovators to expand this meaningful mission.
