A cute little puffin doesn't see the rest of the flock fly away. A fog rolls in and he realizes that he is alone. As it grows thicker, it is easy for him to stumble or be confused, and hard to find his way out. He feels like staying where he is but that becomes dangerous. What must he do to get safely through the fog? 

I liked Fong's allegory for navigating through uncertainty, opening your mind, and finding your way back to your flock. The illustrations are beautiful and expressive. Fong gives us a tenderhearted story that is a good place to start discussions on feeling lost, and making decisions.
