"Create an illustration of a lion suitable for a children’s book aimed at ages 2- 7. The lion should be depicted with a fluffy mane and in a playful pose, but with a blank face—no eyes, mouth, or nose. The design should be cute and friendly, using soft, pastel colors and rounded lines to appeal to young children. Ensure the lion's body is engaging and expressive, while the lack of facial features maintains a simple, clean look. The background can be minimalistic or whimsical to keep the focus on the lion. "
