Zora has always worried about her hair, especially when it comes to water. Now that she's starting swimming lessons, she's terrified-what if her braids come loose? What if everyone notices? As Zora navigates her first swim class, she meets Taneka, a confident new friend who helps her see that beauty isn't just about perfect hair. With encouragement from her mom and Taneka, Zora learns a powerful lesson: her Black is beautiful-with or without her braids. A heartwarming story about self-acceptance, friendship, and the journey to loving yourself just the way you are.
