{{nihongo|'''The Peanuts'''|ザ・ピーナッツ|Za Pīnattsu}} is a Japanese vocal group consisting of twin sisters Emi Itō ({{nihongo2|伊藤エミ}}, ''Itō Emi'') and Yumi Itō ({{nihongo2|伊藤ユミ}}, ''Itō Yumi'').<ref>Real names Hideyo Itō ({{nihongo2|伊藤日出代}}, ''Itō Hideyo'') and Tsukiko Itō ({{nihongo2|伊藤月子}}, ''Itō Tsukiko'') respectively.</ref> They were born in [[Tokoname, Aichi|Tokonameshi]], [[Aichi]] (Japan) on [[April 1]], [[1941]]; soon after their birth, the family moved to [[Nagoya]].


It is written in collaboration with his daughter, [[Hana Yasmeen Ali]]. It is not a comprehensive autobiography but a breakdown of the important events and experiences in his life; this is suggested in the book's subtitle, ''Reflections on Life's Journey''.
In the first years they sung Japanese covers of standards, foreign hits, and Japanese folk songs, then they began singing originals, written by their producer, Hiroshi Miyagawa, and such songwriters as [[Koichi Sugiyama|Kōichi Sugiyama]] and [[Rei Nakanishi]]. Later they embarked on a brief acting career, notably in the 1964 film ''[[Mothra vs. Godzilla]]''. The pair retired from performance in 1975.<ref>[http://uk.imdb.com/name/nm0411769/ IMDB entry for Yûmi Ito]</ref>


The book includes some of his and his daughter's poetry, and snippets of [[Sufi]] thought.

The Soul of a Butterfly (2003) is the autobiography of Muhammad Ali, born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr., a former heavyweight boxer who was a three time World Heavyweight Champion and is considered by many to be the greatest heavyweight of all time.[1]

It is written in collaboration with his daughter, Hana Yasmeen Ali. It is not a comprehensive autobiography but a breakdown of the important events and experiences in his life; this is suggested in the book's subtitle, Reflections on Life's Journey.

The book includes some of his and his daughter's poetry, and snippets of Sufi thought.

A chapter of the book is written solely by his daughter, Hana, where she recounts an experience with her father, and goes on to reflect upon what she means to him and what she has learned from him.

A review in The New York Times describes the book as "an elliptical, collagelike memoir that offered a philosophical look back at his life."[2]
