Description This is a little vignette of Whitetuft*, the protagonist of the storybook, sleeping by its mother's feathery side, meant to be featured either at the very end or on the back cover.

Back when I was making this book there was still an ongoing discussion over whether maniraptorans would have had feathered snouts, so I ended up playing it overly safe. If I was making this book today I'd most definitely make the velociraptorines fully fuzzed up. It would make them not only more realistic but cuter too.

(*The book is written in Finnish and the original name is "Valkotöyhtö" of which this is an attempted translation.)

Aw, this is so cute! I'd buy the book (even though I can't read Finnish)

Thank you. Unfortunately the book has not been published, even though it was finished a decade ago. Hopefully next year!
