Jazz’s story is based on her real-life experiences, and she tells it in a simple, clear way that will be appreciated by picture book readers and their parents and teachers. This confused her family, until they took her to a doctor who said that she was transgender and born that way. She loved pink and dressing up as a mermaid and didn’t feel like herself in boys’ clothing.
I Am Jazz by Jessica Herthel and Jazz Jennings is about a young woman who knew from the time she was two years old that she had a girl’s brain in a boy’s body. Each discussion is completely different because of the individuality of each person. Photographs and candid images help pull together the emotional and physical journey each youth has taken. She then used her talents to represent them thoughtfully and respectfully before, during, and after their personal acknowledgement of gender preference. This book is written for grades three to seven.īeyond Magenta: Transgender Teens Speak Out by Susan Kuklin brings together interviews the author conducted among six transgender or gender-neutral young adults.
