Fog Island tells the story of Finn and Cara, a brother and sister whose boat drifts away to a mysterious island. ‘Stay clear of Fog Island!’ their father warned them. ‘It’s a doomed and evil place.’ One day, a thick fog rolls in and their boat is swept away by currents. In the distance, Fog Island looms over them. No one has ever returned from this island, but they discover things are not quite as they expect.
On publication, this tale of fear of the unknown was voted one of the best illustrated children’s books of the year by the New York Times and one of the best children’s picture books of the year by Publisher’s Weekly.

Tomi Ungerer (1931-2019) is a legend in the world of children’s books. Born in Strasbourg in 1931, Tomi landed in New York in 1956 with $60 in his pocket and with a suitcase full of drawings. Overnight he became a star as a caricaturist, illustrator, and children’s book author. He published more than 140 books for children and for adults in his prolific life. Tomi is a winner of the Hans Christian Andersen Award, the highest achievable international award for children’s literature, and was named Ambassador for Childhood and Education by the Council of Europe in 2003. The Musée Tomi Ungerer, a museum devoted exclusively to his work, opened in 2007 in Strasbourg, France. Tomi died in 2019 but up until his death he continued to create new art every day, and write stories in three languages – English, French, and German!
