Traditional literature, African folk tale
This is a freaky story about a little girl who gets separated from her sisters during a walk. In the style of "Little Red Riding Hood" a super creepy creature (The Zimwi) gradually draws her closer to him, then captures her. Scary! The theme of listening to parents' warnings is central. An extra star for building tension.

Favorite story as a child. Searched for this book for years as an adult so I could always have a copy even though I could tell this story by heart.
