Meet Dude, the nicest Dude in town! Or so he thinks . . .

Created in part by the organization dude. be nice, whose mission is to "inspire people to treat themselves and others better" comes a book about a bear named Dude. He decides that he wants to do nice things for his friends and neighbors. All day long. But Dude doesn't exactly know how to read the room and tends to forget the most crucial part of helping people: asking first. So when Dude unravels a sweater, frees some dogs, and ruins an ice cream social, he needs to reckon with his own niceness: is it really nice if he wasn't that helpful? Can Dude and his best friend Fizz save the day before Dude makes too big of a mess?

With a bouncy text from Sarah Scheerger and gorgeous illustrations by debut children's book artist Alex MacNaughton, Dude. Be Nice is a tale of good intentions and not-so-good outcomes, sure to make readers giggle along the way.
