Like others around the world, our hearts are broken for the beautiful citizens of Ukraine. Their determination in the present war is just, and it is our belief their future will reaffirm what is rightly theirs: a democratic country they can always call home; a place where living in peace and harmony with neighbors is a given; and one where their children will always be safe in knowing the love of parents and dreams of listening to a just future are always close by and achievable.

This fine genre study by Dumont of eight children shows them gathered outdoors near a fence and gazing skyward while listening and gazing at birds nesting or flying overhead.
