Author Aaron Reynolds and Caldecott Medalist Dan Santat recently set out on tour for their new picture book, Dude!, a surfer comedy featuring a single word. The tour kicked off with a launch party in late April at Anderson’s Bookshop in Chicago, and wrapped up in May. We’ve gathered a selection of highlights from the events, which included school and bookstore visits, theatrical readings, and more.
