The photo provided is the current cover. Create an imagine for the first page of a children’s book using this information: Illustration Description (for artist or image generation): Setting: A bright, cheerful backyard with green grass, a few scattered wildflowers, and a wooden fence. There’s a tree off to one side and maybe a sandbox or garden hose in the background to emphasize the homey, playful setting. Style: Watercolor children’s book style, soft and whimsical with bright, friendly colors. Match the look and tone of the cover (light shadows, expressive faces, gentle outlines). Main Character: The same boy as on the cover — around 5-7 years old, cheerful expression, big blue eyes, light brown hair. Costume: He wears a cardboard knight costume — a box painted silver with drawn-on buttons or armor detail, a red paper plume sticking out of a cardboard helmet, and arm cuffs made from paper towel rolls. His “armor” is clearly homemade but full of imagination. Pose: He is riding a wooden stick horse with yarn for a mane, mid-gallop, with one hand holding the reins and the other holding a wooden toy sword high. Extras: A plush dragon toy or stuffed animal might peek from behind a bush, hinting at the “creeping” in the text.
