The story of a transgender child based on the real-life experience of Jazz Jennings, who has become a spokesperson for transkids everywhere 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.
--Laverne Cox (who plays Sophia in Orange Is the New Black) 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 dressing up as a mermaid and didn't feel like herself in boys' clothing.
This confused her family, until they took her to a doctor 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, their parents, and teachers.
