Create a single full-page children's book illustration. Use the attached character reference images and match each named character exactly — same shapes, colours and contemporary clothing; do not redesign them. SCENE: Dhegdheer (match attached reference) stands on a hilltop, with her ear spread wide. The place is a red desert plain with sand dunes. 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 inside a smooth, low-detail gradient blur covering the LEFT 60% of the image. Use only a plain, continuous continuation of the scene background there, with NO characters, objects, props, hanging items, plants, patterns or decorations. Keep all important characters and detailed scene content in the RIGHT 40%, with only a soft natural fade into the blurred left text area. That LEFT 50% text area must be the SAME continuous background colour 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. [EDITOR_REGEN_REQUIREMENTS] These editor requirements are mandatory and override any conflicting earlier wording: - Change the name Asad in all versions to a girl's name that fit in the phonics lesson.

A monster stands on the red sand. Her long ear can catch all sound on the plain.

SCENE: Ada (match attached reference) crouches in the sand beside a small contemporary rural homestead with a canvas shade, a simple modern house wall, and practical water containers nearby, holding a plastic water jerrycan. She looks at a huge strange footprint with a frightened but determined expression. COMPOSITION: Compose ONE full-bleed scene with a single continuous background that fills the whole image, characters at natural size placed toward the LEFT. Keep the RIGHT 50% text area genuinely open — plain, continuous background with NO characters, objects, props, hanging items, plants, patterns or decorations in it — while the rest of the scene fills the frame naturally.
