Alt Text

A child's colored pencil drawing on graph paper of a village, represented by a row of blue houses with pointed roofs, under attack by military personnel and vehicles. Three helicopters with camouflage patterns fly over the village, which has almost entirely caught fire. A soldier wearing camouflage that is on foot, a truck with a mounted machine gun, and a tank with a mortar launcher are seen at the right side of the page, all taking aim at the village. In the far, lower left corner of the drawing are three small figures that represent a mother and two children trying to escape.
