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 clothing; do not redesign them. SCENE: Anansi (round-bellied) (match attached reference) stands proudly in a swept courtyard by a painted cement house wall, one leg resting on his belly. A pair of trainers sits nearby. 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 — 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. 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.

Anansi is a proud spider. He has a big round body, smooth and plump. He pats it and grins. He is very smug.

SCENE: Anansi (round-bellied) (match attached reference) stands at the centre of a map-like forest, looking longingly toward seven villages across hills, river, and valley. Each village has a glowing cookfire with enamel serving bowls, metal stew pots, and curling food aromas. 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. That RIGHT 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.

Seven camps cook a big harvest feed. The pots are big and the dishes are hot. Yam, corn and nuts, crispy and crunchy! Anansi is very hungry, and he wants it all.

SCENE: Anansi (round-bellied) (match attached reference) stands scheming at a forest crossroads with his legs pointing different ways. Weaver Bird (match attached reference) sits on a branch above him, with red laterite paths, glossy leaves, and a bicycle leaning against a tree. COMPOSITION: Compose ONE full-bleed scene with a single continuous background that fills the whole image, characters at natural size placed in the lower part of the frame. Keep the TOP 50% text area genuinely open inside a smooth, low-detail gradient blur covering the TOP 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 LOWER 40%, with only a soft natural fade into the blurred top text area. That TOP 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 TOP 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.

Anansi is greedy and can not pick a camp. He wants all seven big feeds! Weaver Bird sits up on a branch, and she thinks this is risky.
