Award winning author, Lee Ji-eun, is a rising star in South Korea's children's book scene. Her works have become bestsellers on South Korea's largest e-commerce platform.
Lee Ji-eun's stories often feature a seemingly bad-tempered tiger who constantly demands food with the phrase "Give me something delicious, and I won't eat you." However, despite the initial impression, the tiger is just a bit greedy rather than truly ill-natured. Have you ever encountered such a friend who seems fierce but is actually kind-hearted? Her books, filled with cuteness, humor, and heartwarming moments, offer a delightful reading experience that should not be missed.
