Delighted to see The Tyrannosaur's Feathers selected as one of Peters' Books Of The Year 2023 in the category Junior Non-fiction:

https://peters.co.uk/news-page/books-of-the-year-2023

"I especially enjoyed this title as it approaches the popular topic of dinosaurs from an unusual angle and successfully mixes fact with genuine humour. The illustrations are really amusing too and perfectly complement the flavour of the text. It made me chuckle!"

Hey, @JonathanEmmett and I are Authorfy's Picture Book Authors of the Week!

We filmed a video for the occasion about our newest children's picture book The Tyrannosaur's Feathers, illustrated by @Stieven and published by UCLan Publishing.

You have to be an Authorify subscriber to watch it on their website (https://authorfy.com/author-of-the-week/) but here's a great screenshot.

@mike @bookstodon @JonathanEmmett Ha, I tried to do it right but my fingers didn't want to bend that way. 😆

Luckily, in this case it doesn't matter because the number of fingers is part of the story. So maybe I was being accurately inaccurate!

This is hinted at on the front cover, see...
