Publisher Description:
Celebrate black identity and heritage in this funny, rhyming picture book from Coretta Scott King Award winner Ashley Bryan.

A young village boy living in the Caribbean has one problem--his name is so long that not one person can remember it. But still his granny insists he learn and use it. The boy thinks he has the longest name in the world, but could Granny's be even longer?
