Elba has a big block. She's been dragging it around for a long time. It makes her walk slowly. It makes her think darkly. It is heavy. Norris dances everywhere he goes, even uphill. He is always surrounded by a happy cloud of butterflies. When the two meet, Norris wants Elba to accompany him on a trip to the ocean. But she just wants to sit on her block. "I feel something in there," Norris says. "What?" asks Elba, who doesn't feel a thing. "Something sad," says Norris. "I think it wants to come out."

On her first day of school in a brand-new country, a gift from Mexico alights on María’s windowsill: “¡Una mariposa!” And with the butterfly, in comes magic. Filled from her toes to her new butterfly wings with memories of home, María knows exactly who she is. But when everything at school is different and strange, doubt begins to fade María’s confidence away. The place she comes from, the community she loves, the magic inside her … does any of it really belong in her new life in the United States?
