Comedian and viral content sensation Trey Kennedy will release his debut children’s book, “How You Got Your Name,” a hilarious and touching story celebrating the wild journey to each child’s name and the meaning behind it.
With more than 13M followers across social platforms, Kennedy brings his unique brand of comedy that has made him a worldwide viral success to a fun story for both children and adults, as they explore the journey of where names come from, and why.
With vibrant illustrations by Jesús López, the jacketed picture book is for children ages 4-8, and gives readers a chance to guess the character’s name, making each reading experience memorable and laugh-out-loud funny. As a parent of a young child, with another one on the way this fall, Kennedy was inspired to write the book, as every child is interested in knowing how their parents choose their name – introducing the topic in a fun…and funny…way.
The book also includes space for parents to fill out the real story behind their child’s name, making this a keepsake for the whole family. With its lighthearted tone and prompts for readers to share silly name ideas, “How You Got Your Name,” is a delightful read for families to enjoy together.
When one little guy asks his parents about how they chose his name, he’s in for a wild ride. Readers will giggle at the silly names the parents in the story almost picked as they’re inspired by everything around them, including playground equipment, foods in the grocery store, and cell phone sounds. The funny and sweet story ends with a beautiful reminder for kids that God knows their name too.
