Art style: Children's Book.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and perched — an old raven, a large glossy black bird with a stout hooked grey-black beak and clever amber eyes framed by ruffled, puffed-up feathers around the neck that give him a self-important, slightly grumpy look. His plumage is deep black with a faint blue-purple sheen, feathers messily fluffed at the chest and shoulders as if hunched. Sturdy scaly grey legs end in three-toed clawed feet gripping the top rail of a weathered wooden garden fence. One wing is half-lifted in a knowing, advice-giving gesture, head tilted, brows drawn low in a wise, cunning half-smile. Morning sunlight, a green sunny courtyard with a low fence and leafy garden behind him. No aura, no FX.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Children's Book" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Children's Book". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Children's Book" idiom, not in any other medium.
