Create a storybook-style illustration of {topic} inspired by the painterly aesthetic of Oliver Jeffers.

Meta information:
- Run ID: {run_id}
- Target Level: {target_level}


The image should:
- Depict the subject with a hand-painted, human touch, using visible brushstrokes, pencil lines, or watercolor texture.
- Use a soft, muted color palette with warm neutrals and gentle complementary tones, evoking warmth and nostalgia.
- Incorporate occasional bold accents (such as bright reds, yellows, or blues) to highlight important features or focal points.
- Feel simple and emotionally expressive — more about charm and character than precision.
- The background should resemble textured paper or a softly washed watercolor field, not pure white.
- Include light imperfections — uneven edges, flecks, or slight transparency — to enhance the handmade, storybook quality.
- Maintain balanced, centered composition, with breathing space around the subject and a subtle sense of narrative or movement.
