About This Book

Thunder Boy Jr. hates his name — there is already a Thunder Boy Sr., his father, and the junior version feels invisible. He dreams up a series of amazing names for himself, until he and his dad share a moment that reveals exactly the right name. A funny, warm story about Native American naming traditions and the loving bond between fathers and sons.
