## Prompt

```text
Write a children's story.

**Age group:** [0–3 / 3–5 / 5–8 / 8–12]
**Main character:** [WHO — animal, child, object]
**Theme or lesson (optional):** [e.g. sharing, bravery, starting school]
**Length:** [bedtime story / picture book (about 12–16 spreads) / chapter]
**Personal touches:** [child's name, favorite things — optional]

Write it with: simple, rhythmic language suited to the age (repetition and read-aloud fun for the youngest); a clear problem and resolution; a lesson shown through the story, not lectured; and a warm ending.

For picture books, split the text by page and add a short illustration note for each page.
