Publisher's Summary

Thunder Boy Jr. is named after his dad, but he wants a name that's all his own. Just because people call his dad Big Thunder doesn't mean he wants to be Little Thunder. He wants a name that celebrates something cool he's done, like Touch the Clouds, Not Afraid of Ten Thousand Teeth, or Full of Wonder.

But just when Thunder Boy Jr. thinks all hope is lost, he and his dad pick the perfect name...a name that is sure to light up the sky.

What the critics say

"Echoes of Alexie's The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian resonate in this vibrant first-person tale...Thunder Boy's energy is irresistible, as is this expansive portrait of a Native American family." ( Publishers Weekly)

"An enchanting and humorous picture book.... This has all of the qualities of a classic story like Goodnight Moon and is destined to be a modern classic, with youngsters wanting repeated readings." ( School Library Journal)

"Even if little one don't pick up on the cultural significance, they'll be entranced by the brilliant illustrations and Thunder Boy's rollicking determination to branch out on his own." ( Booklist)
