An inspirational story! I felt like this one spoke to me. I feel as if I’m living in a fog right now, the president, the environment, etc. There are people out there ready to fight back and help lift the fog. Uplifting story.

The Fog by Kyo Maclear is about beating something by putting your mind to it and collaborating and also about the environment. It is a beautifully illustrated picture book that will definitely start discussions.

I am a fan of Kyo Maclear's books and loved the illustrations by Kenard Park. A really cute story about a warbler going human watching where he meets a human!

I received an advance reading copy of this book from Penguin Random House Canada in exchange for an honest review.
3.5/5*s
Warble is a tiny yellow bird who likes to people watch. When tourists come to Icy Island, Warble brings out his binoculars and takes note of the visitors; from the Behatted Bibliophilic Female to the Bald-Headed Glitzy Male, Warble observes them all.
One day, a fog comes over the island and prevents Warble from people-watching. Frustrated by this interruption, he does all he can to send it away. Powerless to chase it out on his own, Warble befriends a lost tourist to figure out how they can get rid of the fog.
The Fog is the story of one little bird trying to fix a problem much bigger than himself. I loved Warble's initiative and how he sought help when he couldn't do it on his own. Full of breathtaking illustrations by Kenard Pak, this book shows that when many come together for the same cause, big changes happen.

GORGEOUS illustrations. I would love to have some of those art panels on my walls. I love the idea of the warbler being a "human watcher" who kept a close eye on the people who visited the island. I really enjoyed this read, but the way the "fog" was fixed was a little lackluster. It was still a sweet story.

When I flipped through this book, I initially read it as an experience of depression-- coming in and out of the fog. Since others have commented on the suggestions of climate change or reaching out to others for help solving problems, I wonder if perhaps the purpose of the story is to map onto whatever you make of it. Whether or not this was the intention of the author, I think this is a beautiful way to read the book! Ask the person you read it with what they think the fog might represent... you might learn something important about what's on their mind!
