Active kids' clothes inspired by the popular children's book series, 'Heroes Start as Kids', featuring 9-year-old Dewey Does.

Remember when you played outside all day? Now imagine your kids being thrilled to go outside and play like we did back in the day, finding a friend or two and playing games until the streetlights come on? Games that test their speed, agility and how strong they are getting as they grow. Any game would do. You know, the old games, like punch ball, kickball, or maybe even wiffleball. As kids, we would challenge friends from other nearby neighborhoods to a game of stickball. Yeah, that’s right, good ol’ fashion stickball! We would draw a chalk strike box on a cement wall, usually in our local school yard. And, if we could not find a stick to serve as a baseball bat, we would be creative and break apart one of mom’s old broomsticks. Oops! Sorry Mom.

At eight years old, my son asked me, "Dad, can I exercise with you?" This profound moment of reflection, etched in my mind for the rest of my life, is most likely the seed that lead to the creation of Dewey Does. This same moment, a vision captured in my mind of my son as he stood in front of our home carrying as much of his sports equipment as his arms could hold while on his way to his friend Zack's home to play, lead to the design of the Dewey Does All-Sport logo that brands the Dewey Does online store front today.

Dewey Does is a nine-year-old boy who loves sports. That’s right, all Sports! And, Dewey Does is that advocate for youth health and fitness for kids all over the world, fighting childhood obesity since 2006 through the Dewey Does Foundation. Recently, Dewey Does has teamed up with non-profits, like Rotary International and Brothers Care, to help promote youth literacy by writing and distributing children’s books, FREE, to elementary school grade children near and far. Thousands of books, annually, are distributed because 10% of each purchase from the Dewey Does novelty tee shirts is donated to help our continued effort to promote youth health, literacy, and being active. Dewey Does 110% - Read110, Play110 and #Dew110 to better your communities is our message since 1999.

Help support the fight against childhood obesity and promoting youth literacy by spreading the ‘What does Dewey Does do?’ Dew110 message on a hoodie. Dewey Does 110% - Read110, Play110 and #Dew110 to better your communities.

The Dewey Does novelty hoodie is great as chilly days, birthday gifts, Christmas holiday gifts, or just saying, “Here kid. I love you.” Cool for adults, too.

This unisex heavy blend hooded sweatshirt is relaxation itself. Made with a thick blend of cotton and polyester, it feels plush, soft and warm, a perfect choice for any cold day. In the front, the spacious kangaroo pocket adds daily practicality while the hood's drawstring is the same color as the base sweater for extra style points.
