It was such fun featuring Kenn Nesbitt last month! Today is the official release day of his dreamy anthology, One Minute till Bedtime (Little, Brown Books for Young Readers), and the last day you can enter to win an autographed copy from Today's Little Ditty. Do so by leaving a comment HERE.
In celebration, I'd like to share my own little ditty which you can find tucked in on page 109.

Little Hand
Little hand,
open wide,
put a special kiss inside.
Save it for a rainy day
or say bye-bye,
blow it away.
