The families—and dogs—Tobi meets at the park come in all sorts of shapes and colors and sizes, but this affable pup likes them all.

Every day, Tobi goes for walks with his family. At the park, he likes to say hello to everyone—small families with big dogs, big families with small dogs, tall families with tall dogs, short families with short dogs. There are families who look alike and families where everyone is different; families who are quiet, some who yell or sing loudly, and some who like to play together or create. Even when there are so many people and dogs at the park that Tobi can’t tell which dog belongs to which family, he still loves them all! But there’s always one family he loves the best . . .

With welcoming, childlike illustrations and a breezy text, Andrea Cáceres invites us on a walk through the park that celebrates all kinds of families, with an endearing pup whose world is a friendly place indeed. Hello, Tobi!


Andrea Cáceres is a New York–based illustrator, author, and designer known for her joyful, dog-centered artwork and thoughtful storytelling. Her debut children’s book, My Dog Just Speaks Spanish (Candlewick Press), draws from her own experience as an immigrant from Venezuela and explores themes of identity, belonging, and love. Andrea’s upcoming books—Hello, Tobi and Dog Affirmations—will be released in 2025 and continue to celebrate the humor, heart, and emotional lives of our pets. Through pop-ups, book readings, and creative community events, Andrea brings her world to life—one filled with warmth, wit, and meaningful connections between people and pets.
