## Prompt

```text
Create a children's picture-book illustration.

**Main character (keep identical in every image):** [e.g. a small round hedgehog with a red scarf and big curious eyes]
**Scene:** [what is happening on this page]
**Setting:** [e.g. a cosy village bakery in winter]
**Mood:** [cosy / adventurous / funny / calm bedtime]
**Aspect ratio:** [4:3 / 1:1 / two-page spread 2:1]

Style: warm hand-painted gouache look, soft rounded shapes, gentle textures, friendly expressions, rich but soft colours, simple background that leaves space for text at the [top / bottom].

Avoid: text in the image, scary or sharp features, copyrighted characters, imitation of any named living illustrator.

Tip: paste the same character description into every page's prompt, and upload a previous image as a reference if your tool allows it.
