Shakira Pens Dora The Explorer Book

Shakira has tested her creative skills by writing a Dora The Explorer children's book for charity.

The Hips Don't Lie hitmaker has penned a story as part of the popular Nickelodeon franchise and the proceeds will go to her Pies Descalzo Foundation, which helps provide education for needy kids across the globe.

She says, "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."

The book is titled World School Day Adventure and has been published in time for Christmas.
