Author Description

Stacey Huggins is in a quandary. She is to announce the new baby's name at a family barbecue, but she has forgotten it. She walks around listening to what her aunts, uncles, and parents call him. Everyone, even the cat, calls the baby something different (i.e., Big Head, Sweetie Pie, Little Man). Finally, with the help of her uncle, Stacey is able to remember and gets to announce her brother's name. The bright and lively illustrations show a large Black family and friends at a bustling family gathering, celebrating the new baby with humor and warmth. What's the Baby's Name, Stacey? is the third in a series of books about Stacey Huggins, an active and imaginative girl who lives with her loving Black family. The first, Stacey Became a Frog One Day, was published in 2020. The second, Jump! Jump! Jump! Stacey, was published in 2021.
