An ode to Michael Rosen with AI Art

@Michael Rosen

An AI generated image of UK author Michael Rosen standing in a whimsical forest clearing, surrounded by a family on a bear hunt, with tall grass, a swirling river, and a muddy swamp in the background, all inspired by We're Going on a Bear Hunt; Rosen holds a colorful storybook, while a playful bear peeks from behind a tree, with vibrant, storybook-style elements like oversized footprints and scattered pages floating in the air, as a tribute to his legacy. The words "Rock 'n Roll CEO are carved, tiny, into a tree trunk.
