Shakira, children's book author

Shakira after becoming a published author has proved herself that she is more than just a pair of attractively swaying hips.

A Dora the Explorer children's book for charity has been written by the pop star.

The Singer flexed her creative muscle to write a book for children's and he expressed that "Dora is an inspiration for all children in the world. It was an honour working with Nickelodeon to write this story as education is a cause very close to my heart."

At the end of this year a book will be released by Shakira for children,the book titled 'World School Adventure Day'.All the proceeds received by the sale of book will be handed over to Pies Descalzo Foundation, helping provide education for needy kids around the globe

Shakira changes pace

On the Australian airwaves the last time we heard Shakira was singing Waka Waka.

Diva has been engaged and busy in praising a mostly Spanish language album to the rest of the world.

Colombia’s second best export – behind coffee (no, we’re not supposed to mention the other one!) – scored a massive European hit with the first single from that album and has just unveiled a 50-second preview of the second single.

Sale el Sol – The Sun Comes Out in English – is a change of pace for Shakira.

A pretty, guitar driven ballad, the song showcases the popstar’s softer side – which is reflected in the glamorous video.

Shakira basically wanders around a sun-drenched labyrinth looking beautiful in flowing gown.

Amusingly, the video doubles as an advertisement for Freixenet – a Spanish sparkling wine company.
Classy!
