![]() ![]() While it isn’t the best distinction to class these are “girl things” versus “boy things”, I understand for kids it might be an easier thing to understand, even if it isn’t the best phrasing. ![]() This is an important move because there are so many other things that make Jazz Jazz and when asked to tell us about herself favourite colours is the best place to start.Īs Jazz tells more of her story she mentions she rarely played with trucks, tools, or superheroes and instead liked princesses and mermaid costumes. Only then do we learn about her being transgender. ![]() I liked that Jazz first introduces herself to us through her favourite colours, what she likes to do and who her friends are. ![]() Jazz introduces herself to readers and tells them the story of her life being a girl but looking like a boy to everyone else. This is a wonderful and easy to understand story about Jazz and her journey as a transgender kid. 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. This confused her family, until they took her to a doctor who said that Jazz was transgender and that she was born that way. She loved pink and dressing up as a mermaid and didn’t feel like herself in boys’ clothing. From the time she was two years old, Jazz knew that she had a girl’s brain in a boy’s body. ![]()
