Jonah Michio Tan may only be six, but he’s already an accomplished little baker who sells his cookies online through his own website, “Jonah Bakes”.

Not only that, Jonah, who suffers from the rare genetic condition of skeletal dysplasia – which makes it difficult for him to move about smoothly and results in his bone fracturing easily whenever he falls – hopes to own his own bakery one day.
