About this product

Product Information

From New York Times bestselling author Sherman Alexie and Caldecott Honor winning Yuyi Morales comes a striking and beautifully illustrated picture book celebrating the special relationship between father and son. Thunder Boy Jr. wants a normal name...one that's all his own. Dad is known as big Thunder, but little thunder doesn't want to share a name. 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 Little Thunder thinks all hope is lost, dad picks the best name...Lightning! Their love will be loud and bright, and together they will light up the sky.

Reviews
* "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, starred review, * "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, starred review, * "An expertly crafted, soulful, and humorous work that tenderly explores identity, culture, and the bond between father and son."-- Kirkus Reviews, starred review, * "Alexie demonstrates his familiar gift for storytelling, using seemingly uncomplicated language to tell a layered and emotional story that retains tension despite being full of love. Even with this boy's complaint, this is a joyous portrait of a family."-- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review, *"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, * "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, starred review, "Together [Sherman and Morales] deliver a story that feels both modern and timeless, a joyous portrait of one boy's struggle to (literally) make a name for himself in the world."-- The New York Times Book Review, * "Despite the dad-pleasing message, the book is too funny and real to veer into parental self-congratulation, and Morales's illustrations give great life and specificity to Thunder Boy's Lightning's family."-- Horn Book, starred review, A New York Times Notable Children's Book of the Year A NYPL Best Book of the Year A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year A Boston Globe-Horn Book Picture Book Honor Book of the Year Time Top 10 Children's Book of the Year A Washington Post Best Children's Book of the Year An Amazon Best Children's Book of the Year

Cheered at his new name!
I love this story! I volunteer at an elementary school library. I read this story to the K-2nd grade students, and they loved it, too! They laughed as he tried out different names, and cheered when his dad came up with his new name!
