At the end of the story children will realize that if they strive for something, everything can be possible in life! They will learn the importance of freedom.To this day, if you look carefully around the fisherman town of St.Jean Cap Ferrat, you will see lots of charming little parakeets flying through the harbor with their very bright colors.
