Alt Text

A child's drawing in blue pen, green marker, and red colored pencil on a lined notebook page that depicts two helicopters flying over two houses while a human figure watches. The helicopter on the right is directly above the houses and a person inside it is seen throwing round objects down, likely representing the dropping of ordinance. Red colored pencil lines on the roofs of both houses indicate they have caught fire.
