“Through the metaphoric tale, the narrator explains to readers there are options when one finds oneself in a fog: either stay where you are and wait for it to pass or venture through it and find that ‘a bigger world has always been there, waiting for you.’ The enveloping fog can be symbolic for many things, including illness, grief, indecision, and loneliness. . . Symbolic.” — Booklist “Unexpectedly separated from its colony, a puffin finds itself alone and directionless as a dense fog rolls in. . . . As the puffin encounters obstacles both real and imagined, it nevertheless perseveres until it eventually finds its way back to safety and familiarity. . . . An effective jumping-off point for discussions about fear, anxiety, and obstacles. A simple but poignant tale about navigating difficulties with courage and patience.” — Kirkus Reviews
