Tammy & Winslow

Hi, I’m Tammy Tatum, the illustrator and storyteller behind Winslow Whiskerby. If you and your child love whimsical adventures and heartwarming stories, you’re in the right place!"

For over 15 years, I’ve been crafting art that blends imagination with adventure, starting with watercolor paintings and now bringing stories to life through ink illustrations. But the real magic happens when Winslow Whiskerby takes the lead—whisking you and your little ones away on playful journeys filled with curiosity, humor, and unexpected friendships.

Winslow’s world is designed to do more than entertain—it’s here to spark your child’s creativity, inspire a love of storytelling, and remind us to slow down and enjoy life’s small joys. So, where will we go next? Let’s find out together!

When I’m not in the studio, I’m usually curled up with a book (with my cat, Fito, keeping me company), traveling with my husband, Carlos, or seeking out the next great meal—because good food is an adventure, too!

Growing up in Germany, I became fluent in German, but learning Spanish has been a different kind of adventure. It started at a local café, where I’d practice my Spanish one phrase at a time. That’s also where I met Carlos, and soon, my language lessons turned into love stories.

Years later—despite living in Puerto Rico and being married to an Argentinian—I’m still learning! But maybe that’s the magic of language—it’s like a great children’s book, unfolding one page at a time, full of surprises and discoveries along the way.
