Maybe Tomorrow?

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ana Ramírez González. Hippo-like animal Elba is weighted down by a big black block that she drags behind her everywhere. When she meets effervescent reptile Norris, he helps her to talk about the loss of a friend, and the block gets smaller and lighter. Ramírez González's bright mixed-media illustrations bring hope to this useful parable about the burden of sadness and the importance of sharing feelings with supportive friends.
