One child is a baby with light skin, dark hair, wearing a black jacket, lying in the stroller; the other is a toddler with light skin, brown hair, in a backpack carrier on the woman’s back. There is a large fluffy brown dog with a long coat and a happy expression in the grass nearby. The background includes houses, trees, a stop sign, and a partly cloudy sky.
