What if you freeze? What if nothing comes out?

Tomorrow is show and tell. Kit is going to present the newest version of The Steady Sippy. But Kit feels nervous. What if he forgets the words?

Sparks introduces Layla, a confident girl with a colorful hijab and a sticker covered megaphone who knows how to help people find their voice. Layla breaks it down into four simple steps: say your name, say what you made, say why it is cool, and smile.

Kit practices on his stuffed animals. His voice is wobbly, but he tries. He practices on his little sister Mia. She claps. He practices in the mirror. This time something changes. The smile becomes real. Sparks gives a thumbs up in the reflection.

At school, Kit stands at the front of the class. Deep breath. "I am Kit. I made The Steady Sippy. It holds your juice so it never tips over." The class cheers. Kit found his voice, and it is beautiful.

An invention that nobody knows about cannot help anyone. This book teaches your child that confidence is not something you are born with. It is something you build through practice.
