Shakira's father pens down self-help book for parents

London, Dec 16 (IANS) Colombian singer Shakira's father has penned down a parental self-help book, based on his own experience.

'It is not 100 percent biographical. It's objective. It's to be more a guide for parents,' dailystar.co.uk quoted Mebarak as saying.

Meanwhile, Shakira has turned editor in a bid to give her father's new book 'Al Viento y al Azar' a big boost and has shown off her literary talents by editing the novel and writing the prologue.

'In 'Al Viento y al Azar', I was captivated by everything: the rebellious attitude of some of its texts, the anarchy in its structure, the brutal honesty in his words,' said Shakira.
