 Every call to `debino` creates a child logger based on a root logger. The default root logger is an instance returned by `pino()`, without any options. You may set your own root logger by calling `setRootLogger()`:
 
 ```js
-import pino from 'pino';
-import debino, { setRootLogger } from '@uphold/debino';
+import debino, { setRootLogger, pino } from '@uphold/debino';
 
 // Call this as soon as possible in your application.
 setRootLogger(pino({ redact: ['foo'] }));
