About me

My name is Tammy Elinson. I am a Graphic designer, an author and an illustrator of children's books, and ever since I can remember I've had much affection for small, cute creatures.

 

Till this very day I still keep my entire children's books collection, which I own since the age of 3. "Winnie the Pooh", "Alice in wonderland" and especially Erich Kästner's books and the wonderful world of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter - these all have made a strong impression on my young soul. And so, I couldn't be happier when I finally got the chance to write and illustrate my own books for children.

 

My inspiration for Teeny's character was drawn from long observations of the ways of life of the hamsters I had raised both in my childhood and as an adult. In my books I hope to foster the affection I have for these special animals in my youngest readers.
