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, * "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, * "An expertly crafted, soulful, and humorous work that tenderly explores identity, culture, and the bond between father and son."-- Kirkus Reviews, 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, * "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, *"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, 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
