Create a single full-page children's book illustration. Use the attached character reference images and match each named character exactly β€” same shapes, colors and clothing; do not redesign them. SCENE: Mmoatia (match attached reference) stands on a twisted serpent-like root in the Ashanti forest, stirring a tiny bright plastic water container with Magic Spoon (match attached reference). Golden soup spills from it in ribbons over moss and fallen leaves. COMPOSITION: Compose ONE full-bleed scene with a single continuous background that fills the whole image, characters at natural size placed toward the RIGHT. Keep the LEFT 50% text area genuinely open β€” plain, continuous background with NO characters, objects, props, hanging items, plants, patterns or decorations in it β€” while the rest of the scene fills the frame naturally. That LEFT 50% text area must be the SAME continuous background color as the scene (not a flat panel, not a different shade, no dividing line). Do NOT shrink or squash the characters. Book text will be overlaid in the LEFT 50% text area. Do not include any written text, letters, numbers, captions, speech bubbles, signs, labels, logos, or watermarks anywhere; the image must be purely illustrative.

Mmoatia is small. She has a spoon. It fills a pot with hot nut mash. Think of it!
