Join Sue and her lovable dog Dutch on an uproarious adventure through the vibrant streets of New York City as they search for "the perfect place to pee," encountering iconic landmarks along the way.

Sue, a resident of New York, embarks on an amusing adventure with her dog Dutch, who is in desperate need of a pee. Together, they explore different parts of the city in search of "the perfect place to pee." However, Dutch's picky preferences keep them on the move, as he continues to search for better spots. Along the way, the story captivates children with its depiction of famous New York landmarks. Supplemental backmatter provides readers with a Dutch-and-Sue-approved guide to the city.

This delightful picture book is filled with imaginative storytelling, endearing characters, and comical illustrations by Hyesu Lee, an artist based in New York.


Hyesu Lee is an illustrator, cartoonist, and muralist originally from South Korea and now living and working in Brooklyn. She collaborates with clients across various platforms, including murals, editorial illustrations, advertising, and packaging. Hyesu also contributes regular comics to newspapers and teaches illustration at The School of Visual Arts and The Fashion Institute of Technology. Her rescue dog, Dutch, serves as her constant muse and best friend for the past six years. Together, they bring creativity and inspiration to the world of art.
