The Fog by Kyo Maclear

3.0

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.
