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.<\/p>\n But just when Little Thunder thinks all hope is lost, dad picks the best name…Lightning!
