Ladybug Magazine editor, Kathleen Anderson selected my poem 'The Bedtime Boat' as her EDITOR PICK for November/December 2017. 

"We’re excited to present Della Ross Ferreri’s “The Bedtime Boat” in the November/December issue of LADYBUG. With irresistibly bouncy rhymes—“Jammies on. It’s time to float. / Hop aboard the bedtime boat!”—this decidedly un-sleepy poem invites children to take a ride through a dreamy Arctic landscape, beautifully imagined by artist Stephanie Dehennin."
