Sarah Scheerger, Brent & Jamie Camalich, DUDE. BE NICE

Zibby chats with children’s book co-authors Sarah Scheerger and Brent Camalich about DUDE. BE NICE, a gorgeously illustrated tale of good intentions and not-so-good outcomes, born from the viral kindness movement behind the Dude Be Nice platform. Brett shares how he left corporate America to spotlight everyday unsung heroes through uplifting videos that have been viewed more than 80 million times, while Sarah reflects on bringing those stories into schools. Together, they discuss the evolution of their beloved character “Dude,” the power of empathy and teamwork, and the hope of expanding the brand into TV and beyond.
