Two children sit close in the stillness of a snowy forest, their fur-lined hoods dusted with soft flakes as they cradle tiny winter birds in their mittened hands. The morning light settles warmly across their coats, illuminating the quiet care and curiosity shared between them. A single bird waits in the snow at their feet, as if sensing the kindness in the air.
