One day, the French artist Henri Matisse cut a small bird out of a piece of paper. It looked lonely all by itself, so he cut out more shapes to join it. Before he knew it, Matisse had transformed his walls into larger-than-life gardens, filled with brightly colored plants, animals, and shapes of all sizes! Featuring cut-paper illustrations and interactive foldout pages, Matisse’s Garden is the inspiring story of how the artist’s never-ending curiosity helped turn a small experiment into a radical new form of art.

一天，法国艺术家亨利·马蒂斯用一张纸剪出了一只小鸟。这只小鸟独自待着显得很孤单，于是他又剪出了更多形状的纸来陪伴它。不知不觉中，马蒂斯已经将自己的墙壁变成了栩栩如生的花园，里面满是色彩鲜艳的植物、动物以及各种大小的形状！《马蒂斯的花园》一书配有剪纸插图和可互动的折叠页面，讲述了这位艺术家永不停歇的好奇心如何帮助他将一次小小的尝试转变为一种全新的激进艺术形式的励志故事。
