About the Book:
Ista Cante is the story of a relationship between a child and a hand sewn doll, created by her mother's loving hands. The girl and the doll, named Ista Cante, meaning "eye of the heart" are close companions throughout the journey of childhood. Using her imagination and playing with Ista Cante, the girl explores and grows into a young woman who has learned to listen to and trust her intuition. With a remarkable capability to touch girls and women of all ages, Ista Cante tells the story on a variety of levels: Children will find this book to be a beautiful story about a
child and her doll; teenagers will find in it a parable about the value of intuition; and grown women have wept at its moving portrayal of the relationship between women of all generations and the mothers and grandmothers who have come before.
