I thought this was going to be a book about weather but it is a metaphorical picture book about navigating uncertainty, opening your mind, and finding your way back to your flock. An adorable puffin separated from its colony finds itself alone and directionless as a dense fog rolls in. Given the foggy setting, the palette is necessarily muted, but despite this, the pictures are the preeminent feature of the book. The idea of fog as a metaphor for depression will likely go over the heads of younger readers.  But the puffins sure are cute!
