She’s known throughout the world for her inspired music, but Shakira may soon be known for her book editing skills…

The 34-year-old Colombian superstar served as the editor of a book by her father, William Mebarak. Entitled “Al Viento y al azar,” the book was released in Shakira’s native country today.

The book is a collection of love stories, other pieces of fiction and opinion essays.

Along with serving as the editor for the book, Shakira wrote the prologue. In it, she professes her love to her father:

“Not only did he give me life, he also kept inspiring me every day,” wrote the Latin Recording Academy 2011 Person of the Year’s about the man who performed a special father-daughter song for her at her tribute ceremony.
