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.
