Visual Style Guidelines:
- Overall look: Whimsical, friendly, and minimalistic children’s book illustrations with clean white backgrounds. The focus is always on the characters, with only a hint of environment.
- Characters: Simplified, rounded, and playful designs that are cute rather than realistic. Exaggerated proportions (e.g., a very large elephant head, a small girl with big round cheeks) give a sense of innocence and humor.
- Linework & Details: Thin, delicate outlines used sparingly. Textures are soft and subtle, adding a tactile, hand-drawn feel without clutter.
- Color Palette: Bright, cheerful, and flat colors, with occasional textured shading. Contrasts are strong but not overwhelming.
- Expressions: Characters have wide, curious eyes and simple mouths, conveying wonder, friendliness, or quiet amusement. Expressions are easily readable.
- Background: Mostly plain white or light neutral backgrounds with just enough details at the base to ground the characters, keeping the scene uncluttered and airy.
- Mood: Lighthearted, imaginative, and suitable for preschool or early elementary children. Each image feels like part of a sweet, curious story.

Technical Requirements:
- **Resolution**: High quality suitable for both web and print
- **Format**: PNG with transparent backgrounds where appropriate
- **Composition**: Well-balanced, following rule of thirds
- **Contrast**: Sufficient contrast for accessibility

Apply these style guidelines consistently across all image generation to create a cohesive visual learning experience.
