I Am Jazz by Jazz Jennings, Jessica Herthel

5.0

This is a great introduction to trangenderism for younger kids. Based on the real life of Jazz Jennings who is a very public male-to-female child. The message here is simple: "Being different is okay. What's important is that I'm happy with who I am." This book is great for kids experiencing gender issues as well as their friends, siblings, and classmates. The illustrations are bold and colorful. There is a page at the back about purple rainbow foundation. I wish there was another page with resources for parents about transgenderism.
