Warble is a small yellow warbler who lives on the beautiful island of Icyland, where he pursues his hobby of human watching. But one day, a deep fog rolls in and obscures his view.

The rest of the birds don't seem to notice. The more the fog is ignored, the more it spreads. When a Red-hooded Spectacled Female (Juvenile) appears, Warble discovers that he's not the only one who notices the fog.

The Fog by Kyo Maclear is a witty story, brought to life with the delicate, misty artwork of Kenard Pak. It is a poignant yet hilarious reminder of the importance of environmental awareness.
