The Mermaid and the Parakeet: A Children's Book Inspired by Henri Matisse

In a wide, beautiful ocean lived a mermaid with silvery scales. One day, a mighty storm broke out, with thousands of golden lightning bolts in the sky. Giant waves crashed on the shore, causing the ocean to overflow: the beach, the forest... everything was flooded.

Carried along with the waves, a little mermaid found herself stranded on top of a tree. As the storm passed, the water slowly began to pull back. But... poor mermaid! Without any legs, how would she ever get down?
