<![CDATA[Character education in the era of globalization faces challenges in shaping children's social behavior in accordance with local moral and cultural values. The lack of engaging, contextually relevant learning media leads to the instillation of character values in children's daily lives being less than optimal. This study aims to analyze, interpret, and evaluate the Pawongan values reflected in the Tri Hita Karana concept, as embodied in the character Danny in Roald Dahl's novel Danny, the Champion of the World, as a medium for character education for the younger generation. This study uses a qualitative, literary content analysis design. The study focuses on the novel Danny, the Champion of the World, with Danny as the central character, and analyzes dialogues, actions, and events that embody Pawongan values. Data collection was conducted through documentation review and intensive reading, with the main instrument a researcher-assisted data categorization sheet. Data analysis uses the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model, which includes data collection, data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion. The results show that the character Danny represents the values of compassion, cooperation, respect for parents and teachers, and solidarity in building harmonious relationships with others. The research concludes that children's literature can be an effective tool for strengthening character education grounded in Balinese local wisdom. The implications of this research suggest that children's novels can be used as a medium for character education in both formal and informal settings.]]>
