I Am Jazz

<b>The story of a transgender child based on the real-life experience of Jazz Jennings who has become a spokesperson for transkids everywhere</b><br><br>This is an essential tool for parents and teachers to share with children whether those kids identify as trans or not. I wish I had had a book like this when I was a kid struggling with gender identity questions. I found it deeply moving in its simplicity and honesty.&#151;Laverne Cox (who plays Sophia in &#147;Orange Is the New Black&#148;)<br><br>From the time she was two years old Jazz knew that she had a girl's brain in a boy's body. She loved pink and&#160;dressing up as a mermaid&#160;and didn't feel like herself in boys' clothing. This confused her family until they took her to&#160;a doctor&#160;who said that Jazz was transgender and that she was born that way. Jazz's story is based on her real-life experience and she tells it in a simple clear way that will be appreciated by picture book readers&#160;their parents and teachers.
