Leave it to a young child to distill something to its essence. And as such this feels like it holds a whole world in it, including planes going down in ways unimagined in 1931. 8 1 4" x 6 1 4". Irregular right edge as evident and a few smudges. Graphite on lined paper (more bold in hand) with some beautiful, emphatic seeming lettering and scribbling on reverse too.
