Style of illustrations:
Soft watercolor technique with light pencil lines. Beatrix Potter style
Detailed and delicate illustrations that match the style of a children's book.
Target audience:
The book is intended for children aged 3-5 years. Illustrations should be bright, simple, and easily perceivable.
Characters:

Each character should be unique and expressive, with bright features.
Color palette:
Warm and bright tones to attract children's attention.
Rich colors for characters, with soft pastel shades for the background.

Format and size:
For Kindle, the recommended image format: 1563 pixels wide and 2500 pixels high (aspect ratio 1:1.6). This will ensure good image quality on various devices.
It is important to maintain maximum resolution (300 dpi for print and 72 dpi for screen).
