The Girl Who Couldn't Keep a Secret

The Girl Who Couldn't Keep a Secret is not a single continuous story, but rather a collection of delightful traditional stories and fables from the Kisii community of Kenya, often categorized as folklore.

The stories in the collection are those which were traditionally told to young children in the region by their grandparents. The content is aimed at teaching moral lessons and cultural values, a common characteristic of readers produced by Phoenix Publishers for the East African educational market.

The book's title suggests that the central or title story likely revolves around a character (the "girl") who struggles with confidentiality, leading to consequences that teach a lesson about trustworthiness, prudence, or the value of keeping promises.
