"At the heart of this wonderful retelling of a West Indian folktale is the importance of names in black culture. Though none of his friends can remember Upsilimana Tumpalerado's name, Granny insists that he learn and use it. Strong in rhyme and rhythm, this is great for reading aloud and even better for story telling".--Booklist. Full color.
