What Is Your Step Stool?

What Is Your Step Stool? is a gentle, empowering children’s book that helps kids understand that everyone uses tools and that needing support is not a weakness. Through simple language and relatable moments, young readers are introduced to the idea that tools can look different for everyone. A step stool helps one child reach. Glasses help another see. Headphones help some children focus. Other tools help with moving, hearing, learning, or calming big feelings. This story centers independence, belonging, and confidence, reminding children that using tools helps them do things on their own—and that they are worthy just as they are. Perfect for families, classrooms, and caregivers, What Is Your Step Stool? encourages empathy, inclusion, and meaningful conversations about differences, accessibility, and standing tall anyway.
