-"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* "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* "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* "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* "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* "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."
