A Little Less Blue
written and illustrated by Mei-Feng Chen
Blue is a hippo who sometimes feels sad and when he feels sad, he turns blue-er and blue-er. He has his methods for dealing with his emotions but, one day, he can not find the support and his friends. Suddenly he needs to face the saddest stage — alone. In the end, the final blue disappears when he starts to embrace and express his true feelings to himself and his friends.
