★Volume 6 of the children's bestseller 'Blue Lion Wanini' released★
★IBY's "Must-Read Books for Children Around the World"★

“There is no shame in losing.
“The real shame is running away.”
A fairy tale that encourages children to move forward into a new world.

The elementary school 'One Book a Semester Reading' bestseller 'Blue Lion Wanini' series has returned with its sixth story.
Volume 6 begins with Asante, the first investigator born to the Wanini group, leaving his family and going his own way.
Readers who remember 'Uncle Asante', who left a strong impression in Volume 1, will be happy to know the name of this protagonist alone. He was called 'The Great Asante' and was a legendary investigator who died while fighting a strong opponent to protect young Wanini.
Young Asante, who had inherited a special name and was always proud, sets out into the grasslands with his younger brother, Huru. From the first day, he realizes that he is smaller and weaker than Uncle Asante, despite having the same name. However, on the journey that follows, he overcomes several crises and meets wise lionesses, growing into a responsible lion.
Asante's moving adventure of self-belief and adaptation to the unfamiliar plains will resonate with both existing fans of the Wanini story and readers new to the series.

“What an investigator really needs to do is to become as wise as he is strong.”
The courage and wisdom to overcome fear and protect what is precious

As soon as he steps out into the grassland, Asante is ridiculed by the other animals for not being a worthy investigator of his great name.
Then, through the advice of wandering investigators he meets by chance, he realizes that his repeated foolish mistakes are part of the process of growing up, and not because he is a weak lion.
After going through conflicts big and small, Asante comes to live with a pride of female lions called 'Wedge' and learns that true strength is an attitude of listening to the hearts of beings other than 'oneself', and is reborn as a mature lion who musters up the courage to protect what is precious.
Asante's adventures, as he leaves the protection of the herd and faces challenges on his own for the first time, bring to mind the heart of a child who will one day leave a familiar place and face an unfamiliar world.
Through Asante, author Lee Hyeon conveys the message that true strength comes from believing in oneself, and he strongly encourages children to always believe in themselves and overcome their fears.

What kind of lion will Asante be? Sometimes brave, sometimes cowardly, sometimes wise, sometimes foolish, and sometimes he will do things he cannot even understand.
In every moment, you will make your own choices, move on your own, and create your own story. _From the Author's Note

“We are the most affectionate horses in the whole meadow.”
The beauty of the meadow, embracing and living together with 'differences'

This work vividly depicts the African grassland ecosystem while also capturing moments where love and friendship transcend the logic of the law of the jungle.
Asante breaks the investigator's rules to form a group with Wedge, who he fell in love with at first sight.
The Wedge group saved the babies they were caring for.
In return, Wedge stays by Asante's side in danger.
The ethics of a male lion who protects the pride by eliminating competitors and a female lion who forages for food and cares for her cubs are bound to be different.
But Asante and Wedge build deep trust by making choices for each other and overcoming hardships together.
The sight of lions trying to understand beings different from themselves reminds us of the beauty of accepting differences and living together.
Meanwhile, Wanini, who was feeling lonely after sending off her two sons, smells Asante and Furu, who were carried by the wind, and Maisha, the lioness who left Wanini in Volume 5, and she is thankful for everyone's safety.
What will happen next for Wanini, who has experienced the joys and sorrows of the prairie and fulfills his responsibilities as the leader of the pack? The "Blue Lion Wanini" series will continue.
