The First Koshare

Meer over het boek

The Koshare clown embodies the playful and unpredictable elements of the psyche in various Indian tribes of the American Southwest. Similar to folklore tricksters, Koshare balances joy and fear during rituals, often playfully chasing children before surprising them with gifts. This modern tale explores the origins of this beloved character. Alicia Otis draws from her deep connection to Native American culture, enriched by her grandfather's artifact collection and her family's move to the Southwest, to weave this engaging narrative.
