Be A Great Boy
By David Balicki

What happens when a boy is inspired to not wait for greatness later in life, but to achieve great deeds as a child? An amazing journey full of great dreams, opportunities and possibilities. Be A Great Boy is an inspirational history, detailing the true story of a group of boys who achieved fame and fortune; it is the tale of a group of boys who built one of the most unique clubhouses in America and then filled it with priceless art and artifacts. This is the story of the Koshare Indian Dancers, who have not only become an inspiration to their own friends and families, but to people all over the world.
